connecting the points on slide two to the correct
questions have already been created. Once you
have created one review, you can give the blank
PowerPoint show and these directions to students
and assign them to create the next review.
Students, in groups of five, can make up 5
questions each one for each category, or each in
charge of a category of their own. 1.

• Jeopardy Quiz Game
• Suggested instructions for playing the game with
  a class
• Project the game onto a large screen or use a
  large computer monitor at the front of the
  class.
• Divide the class into teams of up to four
  players. Have any other students count off 1 to
  4 and sit in the audience.
• Provide each team with a flashlight, whistle, or
  other means of "buzzing-in" to indicate they
  know the answer.
• Appoint a scorekeeper.
• Appoint a reader to read each question to the
  group.
• The teacher or a student can act as moderator.
• Let the first team select a category.
• Once the question pops up, the first team to
  "buzz-in" gets to try to answer the question.
• Add or deduct the number of points corresponding
  to the number they selected under the category.
• If the first team misses, the remaining teams can
  buzz-in and answer the question.
• If no team knows the answer, the audience is
  given the opportunity to answer. The first
  person to raise his or her hand and answer
  correctly receives the points for the team that
  corresponds to their number.
• Go back to the game board and let the team who
  answered correctly select the next category and
  point value.
• This power point may include a slide with a list
  of terms the teacher may wish to print out to
  assist the students during the game.
