Team Jeopardy
Elementary Version 3
Purpose: This is a Team activity that will encourage mentors/ mentees to work together with Jeopardy as the basis.
Activity Duration: 45-60 minutes
Materials:
• Print off Jeopardy questions. Print “On Both Sides” and color if available.
• Tape
• Paper/pencil to keep score
Preparation:
• Hang Jeopardy categories on a wall with small pieces of tape. Under each category will be the five questions for that category, also taped to the wall.
This can take up to 5 full minutes (it’s 30+ sheets of paper)
• Split session into two or three teams.
Activity:
• Announce that the team that selects the question gets the first chance to answer the question. Stress that no one shouts the answers.
• Select a Mentor to give the teams’ “Final Answer” after they’ve consulted with everyone on the team.
• If a team is incorrect, the next team can try to answer.
• Allow a student to select the category and question, remove from the wall and read the question to that team.
Tips:
• Ask a mentor to keep score. Do not deduct points for a wrong answer.
• Stress this isn’t about winning or losing but working well with your team.
• Rotate which student gets to select the category and dollar amount.
• Require students select question from their seats. If they come to the wall to choose, they take a long time.
• Hang the activity prior to the session or recruit a mentor to help you at the beginning of the session.
• The questions and categories print in order. Simply print the file (on both sides) as the file appears.
