How does Tug of War play out in class?
The teacher configures two teams and students join by code or QR. A live rope display moves every time a challenge is answered, pulling towards the side that answered correctly. The first team to drag the rope fully to their end wins the match.
When should you use Tug of War?
Tug of War suits review sessions, lesson kick-off energisers and end-of-unit showdowns — any moment where a fast, two-team format creates more energy than an individual leaderboard. It is the simplest mode to explain, so it works well with a class new to Saval.
