Directions for 4-H Jeopardy Divide participants into two groups. Have each group count off so that each group has a participant who is number one, two, etc. Each group should name a leader. Determine which group will go first. The leader of that group should select a square from the Jeopardy Board, for example, Green 30. Move the cursor to Green 30 and watch the cursor change to a hand. Click to reveal the Jeopardy answer. The groups will have 30 seconds to quietly discuss the question to ask. The Jeopardy facilitator will pull a number from a group of items equal to the number of participants on each side and that will indicate who will give the Jeopardy question. (If the facilitator pulls #4, then the participant designated #4 will speak.) Put item #4 back into the group of numbered items. (Writing numbers on the bowls of plastic spoons is a way to easily get numbered items.) If the speaker is correct,his/her team gets the number of points on the question. Have someone record the score on a board or large sheet of paper. If the participant is incorrect, the facilitator should pull another number, and the corresponding participant on the other team may answer and then get the points if he/she is correct. If neither team gets the correct answer, the facilitator can reveal the correct answer by clicking on the word “answer.” The leader of team 2 then selects the next question. (The leaders will alternate selecting colors and numbers from the board. (Note: after a square has been selected, its number becomes black, indicating it shouldn’t be selected again. In the Slide Show view: To return to the Jeopardy Board from any other slide, click the Clover: move the cursor over it until you see a hand and then click. The game ends when a preset time expires or when all the squares have been used.
