JEOPARDY

A fun activity for students to work on clues and use their logic to make the right question

1. Download the file and make copies for students.

2. Students are going to work in groups of 4 so consider the total number of copies you’ll need.

3. Explain to students that instead of answering questions like in a quiz show, they are making the questions. Maybe students are familiar with the Classic America TV show, ‘Jeopardy’.

4. Each card has a word with a point value. Similar to Jeopardy, you create 5 categories.

5. Each category has 5 questions with harder cards as a higher point value.

6. Ask students to pick the category and point value. After flipping over the card, the fastest group to raise their hands make a question.

7. Give a countdown for how fast they have to respond. Don’t be afraid to give negative points if they are too slow to respond or make an incorrect question.

8. Discuss with student how they were working with their logic, critical and creative thinking with this type of game.

9. Here you have the categories (taken from the site of the activity)
