Playing Jeopardy: 
  Decide if it is important that you follow the traditional format of Jeopardy with being given the 
answer first, and the students have to come up with the question or whether you will give the 
student the question and they have to come up with the answer. Edit your slides accordingly 
and instruct the students accordingly. 
  Decide if you will play it the traditional Jeopardy format where the person/team getting the 
right answer, gets to choose the next points question. If you do that, some students may get 
shut out and give up. Or, just take turns between the teams. 
  Decide if the team choosing the points question gets 60 seconds to come up with the right 
answer before letting other teams guess or leave it wide open to whoever raises their hands 
first.
