David Fordhams AIS Jeopardy Game
http//cob.jmu.edu/fordham/AECM1.htm

• One of the simplest, yet most unusual,
  applications I use for PowerPoint is my own
  parody of the Jeopardy game. If you download it
  and try it, I think you'll have to agree it is
  ultra-simple, downright embarrassingly so, yet
  the students get a kick out of it, since it is so
  unlike any PowerPoint session they've ever seen.
  Class participation a la mode! Not a lot of new
  learning takes place on the day I play the game,
  but the students have a good time! I use Snickers
  bars for the winners, and a homework review sheet
  for the losers!Theres also a Double Jeopardy
  Version!
