How to Do This

Make a table Make separate slides for each question, assigning a

point value and category to each. It will help to title each slide according to its category and point

value In the table, select a point value.

Choose “Insert”, “Hyperlink” On the left side, select Link to “Place in This Document” (second

one down) From the list on the right, choose the appropriate slide.

How to Do This

Go back to each question slide and add a hyperlink to go back to the table. If you do this once, you may copy and paste it to each slide.

When playing, click on the point value and it will go to the corresponding slide. Always use the hyperlink “Back” to go back to the

table. If you use an arrow key, it will take you to the next slide, rather than to the table.

Once you have visited a point value, the color changes.

How to Play Split into three groups. Have three sets of noisemakers or signals. Provide one to each person. Have someone choose the first category and point value. Read the question. Anyone who knows the answer may signal. Decide who signaled first. Allow them to check with their team for no more than 10

seconds or so and provide an answer. If they answered correctly, add that value to their total If they answered incorrectly, subtract that value from their total

Allow the other teams to signal to answer the question and follow the same rules. The group answering correctly or the last group to answer incorrectly chooses the

next category and point value. Continue until all questions are complete. Go to final Jeopardy.

Have each team decide how much to wager and show it to the host. Show the question and have each team write down their answer. Add or subtract the wager and determine the winner.

Suggestions

I have used this in several different training sessions. I usually go through a review or formal training and then use this as reinforcement.

This is especially good for annual refresher training. It really shows the individuals how much they do not know and why refresher training may not be a waste of time.

You can have them answer as individuals, but they seem to enjoy working in teams.

I always give a prize to each person on the winning team. It helps to have two people administering this. One to act as host

and one to act as judge. The judge decides who rang in first, keeps score and decides if the answer is correct.

Always keep a list of answers in case there are challenges.
