1. Welcome
EXPLAIN
“We’re going to use the Jeopardy format to review some of the topics covered in the Basic Principles of Healthy Homes online course.
PREPARE ACTIVITY
Divide the class into three equal teams. Use your discretion in determining the best way to do this. E.g., you may or may not want students to team up with their co-workers.
Have the teams sit together.
Have each team identify a spokesperson.
Give the spokesperson of each team a ”flag” to hold up when their team is ready to answer. (See list of required materials in HHACHW_TG1_[DATE]_INTRO, slide 4.)
Use your discretion to determine which team goes first. E.g., you might find out which student most recently celebrated his/her birthday, and have that person’s team go first.
DESCRIBE ACTIVITY
The whole team can discuss the question, but only the spokesperson can raise the flag and respond.
The first team to raise the flag gets to respond.
The response MUST be in the form of a question, but the student’s response does not need to match the answer key exactly. You’re just trying to get a sense of if they know the information.
If the response is correct, that team gets to choose the next category and point value. If the response is incorrect, the other teams may have a chance to answer. Again, the first team to “wave the flag,” tries first.
Some categories are more challenging then others. The objective here is not to win big bucks (LOL!), but to review the information. Feel free to give hints and guide them in the right direction.
”Just the Facts” deals with some of the key concepts of healthy housing. “People Matter” deals with the role of the resident in the assessment process and why we start with people. “Can we Talk?” deals with communication strategies. “Keep It Healthy 1 and 2” primarily deal with assessing and ensuring the health of a home.
If you want and you think of it ahead of time, you might bring some type of ”prize” for the winners, such as candy or branded pens. to
