Team Scoreboard

About the Team Scoreboard

Team challenges, review games, and reading incentive charts all need the same basic thing: a big, visible number that's easy to update without breaking the pace of the activity. This scoreboard starts with two teams and lets you add as many as a class period needs, each with its own color and an editable name field so teams can rename themselves on the spot.

Scores adjust with one tap — plus one for a quick point, plus five for a bigger win — and whichever team is ahead gets a highlighted border, which matters more than it sounds like for keeping a room of students oriented during a fast game.

How to use it in your classroom

1. Rename each team by clicking directly into its name field — the default labels are just placeholders.
2. Use Add Team for groups larger than two, or the X button on a team's header to remove one.
3. Tap +1 or +5 to add points as a team scores; use the − button to correct a mistaken point.
4. Click Reset Scores to zero out every team's score while keeping the team names and colors in place.

Tips from the classroom

• Set up teams before the activity starts and project the board so students can watch their own score change in real time rather than waiting for an announcement.
• Use the +5 button for harder review questions and +1 for easier ones to weight a quiz game without doing mental math mid-class.
• Reset Scores between class periods that share the same game format instead of removing and re-adding teams each time.
• The leading team's card gets a colored ring automatically, which is a quick way to settle the inevitable "wait, who's winning" question.
