2. Instructions for Game & Template Use Start the game by asking all teams the question in the first square on the board. The team that rings their bell first, answers the question. If they answer correctly, they receive the appropriate money award and choose the next question square. You can subtract the award money for wrong answers if you so choose, or you can eliminate this component and only give money for correct answers, thus eliminating any penalty. Make sure all participants know to state their answer in Jeopardy format beginning with “What is....” If they forget to do so, they cannot receive credit for their answer and the award can be subtracted from their total. Click on the top headings to advance to Final Jeopardy. Participants can wager all or part of their winnings during final Jeopardy, and thus loose it if their answer is wrong or earn it if their answer is correct. When clicking on the slide to move to the next appropriate slide, be sure you see the hand icon, and not the arrow. (If you put your cursor over a text box, it will be an arrow and WILL NOT take you to the right location.)
