Moon Jeopardy Directions During this six weeks, our students have been studying the Moon and its phases. This game will be used at the end of the unit as a fun way to evaluate their learning. It can be played with small groups or it can be played with teams formed from the entire class to work together. The team or group with the most money earned by correctly answering questions is the winner! Jeopardy is played by giving students the answer and then having them ask the question that would have provided such an answer. When it is a group’s turn, they will need to select a money category and a question to answer. If the group does not answer the question correctly, other groups are given the opportunity to answer and earn the money.
