PowerPoint Jeopardy

Teacher Guide and Directions for Play

Thank you so much for purchasing one of my Jeopardy Review Games. Students love to
review our class material when it is in a competitive game format. As a classroom teacher, I
find that using games to review the subject matter content always increases student
participation and engagement. This results in a high quality and very productive review
session for all students.

This resource contains three Jeopardy games for your Genetics unit.
• Game 1 has 6 categories and 30 questions.

• Game 2 has 5 categories and 25 questions.

• Game 3 has 5 categories and 25 questions.

• The three games should be used together to create a thorough review of genetics.

• The questions are editable allowing you to make the game a perfect fit for your
students.
