Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader is an exciting board game that tests players' knowledge of elementary school-level topics. Players take on the role of a student and answer questions from various categories, such as Language Arts, Math, Social Studies, Science and Pop Culture. The goal is to be the first player to reach the finish line by correctly answering ten questions. To begin playing Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader board game, each player selects one subject card and places it in their designated area on the gameboard. On their turn, each player spins the spinner to determine which category they must answer a question from based on their selected subject card. If they answer all 10 questions correctly within five minutes or less they win! Players may also choose “helpers” like teacher's pet (allows them to use two lifelines) or class clown (they get an extra spin for every correct answer). However if you don't know the answers you can ask your friends for help using “lifelines” like peeking at classmate's paper (allows you to look at another person's notes) or calling home (you can call someone for help). Whatever strategy you choose make sure you remember – knowledge is power!
