JEOPARDY!

=JEOPARDY! = If you’re familiar with the TV show, you know how this game is played. But since these are elementary students, this is the elementary school version. Create a 25 card set with 2 extra cards that will be the DAILY DOUBLE squares. On one side of the card, you’ll have the point value of the card. Since it’s going to be a 5x5 grid, there’s going to be 5 categories and points going up to 5. If you’re ghetto, like me, you can just draw a 5x5 grid on the board and make that the JEOPARDY! Board. Just make sure that your class has at least gone through 5 different lessons in their school year. This is one of those games that are good to play as a review, nearing the end of the school year.



How to play:

1)        3-4 Teams are made.

2)        1 captain for each team.

If not, they can lose up to all of their earned points.
