How to make this Jeopardy game
work for your topic
• Set up your teams and have them sit together.
• Explain the ground rules
• Assign a score keeper who will watch to see
which team raises their hand first for each

team wins what on the board or flip chart.
• When you’re ready to have your class play the
game, open that presentation and then hit F5
to put it into the “SHOW mode.
JEOPARDY GROUND RULES
• Raise your hand when you want to answer. I
will call upon the first hand I see raised. You
get five seconds to answer.
• You get one answer; you cannot change or
modify it after you have given it.
• If the first team to answer gets it wrong, they
get that score deducted from their total and
then the second team that raised their hand
gets a chance to answer.
JEOPARDY GROUND RULES
• One of the questions will read “DOUBLE JEOPARDY”.
This just means that this question is worth twice
what it is listed for.
• When all questions are complete you are ready to
play “Final jeopardy” . Before you see the question
each team must write down how much you want to
wager.
• After the question is shown, write down your answer.
You cannot change your wager $$ after you see the
question.
• When the music stops each team reveals what their
wager was and their answer.
