This is it guys! This is the last blog game I am getting to write for you all as Vice President. I'm sad to see my Interactive Blog Games ending but I hope next year someone else will take up the gauntlet. It's been two really fun years of these and I hope you all have enjoyed playing them as much as I've enjoyed writing them! We've talked about tips, teamwork, time, taking chances, transitional phrases, sound bites, Presidential speeches, inspirational quotes, and much more. It was my goal with these games to not just make them fun little website games but an opportunity for learning and great interaction. We've done a global theme, several historic and English based ones, and of course plenty about Debate! I've loved getting to post all of them. Special thanks of course goes to Mabel and Elijah for constantly taking the time to come and win the games! You both had such great winning streaks this year and last year and I was always totally impressed. It meant a lot that you had a nice time and hopefully learned something new, too. :) Great job, congratulations, and thank you! For our final game we're actually going to do a pretty non-competitive subjective round. :) Like last year's finale we'll be doing 20 questions - 10 new and 10 from this year's past games. This year we'll for the new questions we'll be sticking with something new we've been doing this year - non-objective questions. The 10 new questions will be totally subjective so as long as you answer the question you will be correct, and the 10 old questions will be able to be found from games from 2017 only (I think there were about seven games in total). Hope you've been paying attention and have great research skills! You guys have totally got this. As usual, get ready, get set, HAVE FUN AND GO! :) Here's how it's going to work: Below this introduction I'm going to post some special questions and activities for you to work on. After you've read the challenges you'll have to post your answers in the comments. Submissions will end at 10pm (so no posts after that will count) and the first person to get everything will be the final winner of the 2016-2017 year and will get three fun facts shared about them on the blog with a special post! The second, third place and so on winners will get one fun fact and a small shoutout, so submit your responses even if you aren't the main winner! It's a blog game bonanza! :) Finally, if you've skipped the introduction I suggest reading it because it's the last game from me! Thank you. Good luck debaters, and havvvveeee fun! On your marks, get set, go!

Thank you so much Katherine! It has been so fun this year with you as well! I can’t believe that this is truly the final blog game and I will miss your blog games so much! But I have had so much fun with them in the last two years and I made sure to attend this final one! Great job with the blog game as always, Katherine!
