Presuming that you have saved it to a diskette. . . a. The diskette is in you’re A drive. b. Open PowerPoint and click in the radial button, open an existing presentation. c.

If you want to change the color of the font, highlight the category, click on the font color button's down arrow and choose the color of your choice.

Double click in the first blank category and begin typing your first category. Continue to do this for all five categories. Click on File, Save As to save your work. You will want to give it a name, e.g. Science ch. 5 review. This will leave your "blank jeopardy file", blank for you to create other games. h. Go to the lower left hand corner and choose the Slide Sorter View. i. Choose the second slide and double click on it.

Periodically, save your work by clicking on the little diskette in your menu bar. n. Each slide is in order, going down the category e.g.: First category on the far left for 1 point is slide number 2 and 3. First category for 2 points is slide number 4 and 5 etc. o. If you want to include two "daily doubles", just change the color of the question and answer to yellow. We included two daily doubles because we play with two teams and would like each team to have the opportunity to score a daily double. But as you know, it doesn't always work out that way! http://www.hardin.k12.ky.us/res_techn/sbjarea/math/JeopardyDirections.htm
