The joys of teaching in Utah.

I was playing a game with the kids today. Essentially, I ask each table a question. They talk amongst themselves and if they are able to answer the question correctly, I give them five points. If they are wrong, I move onto the next table.

Question: Who were the first people ever to live in America?
Answer: The American Indians

Table 1- Who were the first people ever to live in America?

[Discussion amongst the group]

"The pioneers?"

Good answer, but no. Table 2?

[Discussion amongst the group]

"The Columbus people?"

Good answer, but no. Table 3?

[Discussion amongst the group]

"Cavemen?"

I'm not sure, but I am going to say no, because that is not what this card says. Table 4?

[Discussion amongst the group]

"Adam and Eve?"

After I am done laughing, I have no idea how to respond. How should I have responded?? I gave them some points but did not say they were right or wrong, only that it was an interesting answer. The next table finally got the answer right.
