Unit One Review

JEOPARDY
Directions: The first team chooses a category and an
amount. When the team agrees on an appropriate
answer one student provides that answer. Other team
members can whisper an answer to the group, but if
the answer is heard by the teacher before the group is
ready to give an answer, the team loses their turn.
Teams have 30 seconds to provide a correct answer. If
correct, the team wins the dollar amount. If incorrect,
they receive no points. Play then goes to Team 2. If a
team chooses a square that is Double Jeopardy, they
could win double that prize amount. At the end of the
game, there will be final jeopardy where teams can
wager their winnings on a final question. The team
with the most money wins.
