Jeopardy Quiz Game    Suggested instructions for
playing the game with a class 1.      Project
the game onto a large screen or use a large
computer monitor at the front of the
class. 2.      Divide the class into teams of up
to four players. Have any other students count
off 1 to 4 and sit in the audience. 3.     
Provide each team with a flashlight, whistle, or
other means of "buzzing-in" to indicate they know
the answer. 4.      Appoint a scorekeeper. 5.     
Appoint a reader to read each question to the
group. 6.      The teacher or a student can act
as moderator. 7.      Let the first team select a
category. 8.      Once the question pops up, the
first team to "buzz-in" gets to try to answer the
question. 9.      Add or deduct the number of
points corresponding to the number they selected
under the category. 10.    If the first team
misses, the remaining teams can buzz-in and
answer the question. 11.    If no team knows the
answer, the audience is given the opportunity to
answer. The first person to raise his or her
hand and answer correctly receives the points for
the team that corresponds to their number. 12.   
Go back to the game board and let the team who
answered correctly select the next category and
point value.   Georgia Agricultural Education
