Jeopardy! Digestive System
Rules for teams: Poor sportsmanship will result in loss of points. (shouting out answers, getting upset at other students, etc.) The class will be divided into 3 teams. Each team will have one person designated to buzz in for the team. If the “buzzing” person grabs before the question is read orally, the other team gets to answer instead.
Rules for answering questions: The first team to buzz in will answer the question. After buzzing in, a team is allowed 5 seconds to respond before losing points and allowing the next team to answer. If a team fails to answer a question correctly, they will lose the points the other team may steal the question. The last team to correctly answer a question will select the next category and question.
This Is Jeopardy! (Applause)
