MS History Students have all loved my Jeopardy game

The students write the questions and answers on index cards. I write the categories (there is a lot of flex with this) on the white board and I tape the questions on the board. I read the answers and the students can choose to work in groups or individually (lots of flex here too).

Sometimes we switch it up and read the questions and have the students answer without creating the "game board."

It can get loud and almost everyone participates. It is fun and has worked well for my MS and I used it in HS too.

I think the key is the flexibility of creating something that the students enjoy, take part in creating and get immediate feedback.

Teri I have a Smart Notebook Jeopardy game I would be happy to share with anyone who wants it.

On the low tech side--before I got my Smart Board, I made a Jeopardy board out of two posterboards and 25 4" X 6" envelopes. I cut the flaps off of the envelopes and labeled them for their points values (100 to 500, times 5 columns) and glued them to ...See More
