“Ak terek, kok terek, who do you need from us?”“We need Aigerim!”
How to play
01
The call
One team chants: “Ak terek, kok terek, who do you need from us?”
02
Pick a runner
The other team names a player from the opposite side: “We need Aigerim!” She runs at the chain and tries to break it.
03
Answer in 10 seconds
While the runner is on her way, the defending team answers a question. The teacher can set the time from 5 to 30 seconds.
04
Hold or break
Correct answer — the chain holds, the runner is caught and joins the defenders. Wrong answer or time out — the chain breaks and the runner takes one player back to her team.
Golden roundEvery 5th round two players switch sides at once.
50/50 hintOnce per team: two wrong answers are hidden.
Match heroes“Iron Hand”, “Lightning” and “Fastest Answer” are named at the end.
How it works in class
The named pupil comes up to the board and answers — get it right and the chain holds!
One board, the whole class
Open the game on a projector or an interactive board: the question, the timer and the answers are up on the big screen for everyone.
The named pupil answers
The screen says «Канат, жооп бер!» (“Kanat, your turn!”). Kanat walks up to the board and taps the answer himself while his team cheers him on.

Frequently asked questions
What is “Ak terek, kok terek”?
An old Kyrgyz children's game, much like Red Rover: two teams line up holding hands and a called player tries to break through the other team's chain. Here, whether the chain holds depends on the answer to a question.
How do we play it in class?
Open the game on a projector or an interactive whiteboard. Type in the pupils' names for the girls' and boys' teams — 3 to 10 per team (6 + 6 by default), pick the answer time, and the teams take turns answering.
Is it free?
The demo game is free and opens without an account. Your own questions work after you sign in; the teachers' catalogue needs a PRO subscription.
Where do the questions come from?
Create a topic in the question bank and add at least 10 questions (of any type: one or several correct answers, true/false, or a written answer). The BilimAi bot can also write questions on a topic for you.
Who wins?
A team left with fewer than two players loses. When the rounds run out, the team with more players wins. At the end the heroes are named: “Iron Hand”, “Lightning” and “Fastest Answer”.
