[Teachldsseminary] Help finding SM balloon game

[Debbie Spencer]

Most of the time, my kids stand up if they know the answer.  It is easier for me to see who was first.  Sometimes we have a tie, and I allow them to say who was first.  After all, this is Seminary and if they can't be honest here, . . . .  Sometimes, in the case of a tie, I will call on one of them, and I will usually call on the one who is "up" less often.
   
  I also bought an Eggspert game to use.  It is a buzzer system that the kids hit when they know the answer.  It has lights that light up for the first one and locks the others out.  Since using this game over the past 2 years, there has only been 1 time when two lights came on simultaneously.  One time, I had a problem with some of the kids just ringing in, hoping to be first, and I solved that by deducting points if they could not tell me the answer within 5 seconds.  Also, you can turn the buzzer sound on or off, and the game will also select a contestant randomly if you choose.
   
  Have fun and enjoy!

  Has anyone played this and had their kids whine about how they "hate tying 
balloons," "can't pop the balloons," are "afraid of the popping sound" yet 
they insist that hey love the game? What do you do about whiners?

This is one thing I really struggle with. Like today, we played the 
Ezra-Isaiah Jeopardy game and I really struggle with knowing who has the 
answer first. I got so many complaints of "that's not fair" and other such 
fusses.

Any ideas? I'm not always the most assertive person.
