Jeopardy Instructions
• Get into groups based on the names in the pocket chart. Move your desks into
the group-work configuration.
• Clear your desks of everything but paper and a pen/pencil.
Jeopardy Review Game Rules
• The first group to “buzz in” initially gets to select the first question.
• Groups must conference and may write down the answer before they can “buzz
in”.
• Select one student who will “buzz in”
• I will chose ANY student from the group that I want. The group should conference
before they decide to answer the question. It is important that EVERYONE in the
group know the answer.
• No one else can help the selected student answer the question. If anyone else in
the group gives the answer, the group automatically looses the points and
another group can buzz in to answer.
• If the student gets the question right, the group gets the points and they get to
select the next question.
• If the student gets the question wrong, the points are subtracted and the next
group to buzz in has the opportunity to answer. Again, the TEACHER will select
the student who answers the question. If no one gets it right, the last group to
have a correct answer will choose the next category.
