WAYS TO PLAY

The ways to use this game show are endless, which is one of the many things I love about Jeopardy style games! I love to switch up the way I play these games with my students to keep the engagement high!

Here are a few of my favorite ways...

1. WHOLE GROUP- Divide students up into four teams and assign a team captain to each team or let students choose their team captain. Determine who goes first by picking a number in your head. Whichever team guesses the closest to your number gets to go first. I only let the team captain tell me the answer for their team to keep all students from blurting at one time. The team captain must discuss the answer with his or her teammates before telling me their answer. Have ALL students answer the question on their own paper or whiteboard to ensure all students are participating. If the first team gets it wrong or does not know the answer, the next team in line can steal for points!

2. WHOLE GROUP- If you have any type of buzzer button you are able to provide for each team (you can usually get them off amazon or from the Target dollar spot at the beginning of the school year!), this version might be for you! Split students into groups of four and assign a team captain. Determine who chooses a category first by picking a number in your head. Whichever team guesses the closest to your number gets to choose a category first. I only let the team captain tell me the category his or her team would like to pick after they have discussed it with their team. After the teacher reads the category question, the team who hits their buzzer first is able to answer the question. If that team does not know the answer, or is incorrect, a different team can hit their buzzer to steal.

3. STATION WORK- Display the Jeopardy game on your board and allow students to use the game during stations with their group! Each student would be their own team, or play with a partner depending on group numbers! I recommend playing some sort of Jeopardy game in whole group first so they have a reference of how it works first!

4. SMALL GROUP- Have students who are still struggling with a topic or just need the extra review? This is the perfect thing for those groups! Display the game on your laptop at your table and have students be their own team or partner up with another student depending on numbers!

You can choose to:

- Have students take turns choosing categories and answering questions to earn points.

- Have students take turns choosing categories and allow whichever student hits the buzzer first to answer. If they get it wrong or do not know it, the next student may steal!
