© Mark E. Damon - All Rights Reserved Directions: To play, select different money amounts from each category. If you (Player #1) pick it, you go first and if you get it right, you win the money. If you miss it, you lose the money! The next person (Player #2) gets to try, but if he/she misses it, no points lost! Same thing with Player #3 if he/she misses it. Then its back to Player #2s turn to pick a question, and so on. As you play the game, click on the $DOLLAR AMOUNT, not the surrounding box. Keep track of which questions have already been picked on your worksheet.
© Mark E. Damon - All Rights Reserved Directions: After a question is picked, click again anywhere on the screen to see the correct answer. On your notes sheet, now record what you have learned to help you study. Click on the Scores box in the bottom right hand corner to return to the questions. Enter the score into the black box on each players podium for the question you just finished. Continue until all clues are given. Then play Final Jeopardy. To play Final Jeopardy, secretly bet a portion of your winnings so far on the question. He/she can choose any amount to either add or subtract from their winnings based on the category they know the question will be from. Then the final answer is revealed, and all 3 players write on their own papers their answer. When the correct question is revealed, all three players should share their answers and their wagers to see who has won!
