Check out the site above for links and ideas. There is
probably a Jeopardy template on the site, too. I also have
heard people using Who Wants to be a Candyaire? based on the
Millionaire show and giving candy instead of cash.

I'm in my 6th year and I can tell you to hang in there, things
will get easier for you. Data also show that this time of the
year is especially tough for first year teachers so just try
to work through.

I don't like to play games because I find it nearly impossible
to keep the class engaged. I often think that, "Lets play a
game!" is code for, "We don't want to do anything today". Then
again, physical science in NC is taught to juniors so my kid
are older.

If you have any secrets to keeping them engaged, I'd happy to
hear them.

Good Luck!
