Question: What are some great geometry/Math Games i can play with my students in class?

Its the last day before fall break and i don't know any Math Games i can play with my students.
It must be interactive so students would WANT to play.

Answer: how about math jeopardy!!. i played this at middle school algebra class. the teacher made a whole list of math problems, for example 100pts for factors!! or 200pts for Quadratic. the winning team get some kind of prizes

we all in a team of four. so we all can solve the problem together . this is a good way to let the other students that dont really know how to do it by watching thier team members

Ferne, Donna, and susan have just finished playing 3 games. There was only one loser in each game. Ferne lost the first game, donna lost the second game, and susan lost the third game. After each game, the loser was required to double the money of the other two. After 3 rounds, each woman had $24. How much did each have at the start?
If you figure it out please tell me step by step how. Thank You!!!

Answer: $1.50

divide the end amount by 4 for each game they lost, that would be doubling for each person per game lost
