This game template is for educational use only and not for commercial use. Credit appreciated. Do NOT post elsewhere without Permission Game concept and sound files from Feel free to with questions and comments. I created this PowerPoint adaptation of the Jeopardy game show in 1998 and updated for use in PowerPoint 2003 in 2007, combining it with Double Jeopardy and embedding the sound files.
Please share your Q & A with other users by ing to me. I will include them on my website, with credit, for others to use. It is suggested that you get your students to write the Q and A. Additional tutorials about how to use this PowerPoint presentation can be found on my website,
Enjoy!
