2. Beowulf Jeopardy

3. Rules 2 options of play: – Start with one group and if they don’t get the answer it goes to another (in a predetermined order) – Or, we play it like normal Jeopardy. Whoever knows the answer raises their ruler and they guess the answer. (Teams MUST be honest about who raises it first, in case I do not catch it.) Noise Level: You are allowed to get animated and have fun. BUT I should not have to yell over you in order to talk! If I do, I will end the game and I will find something else for you to do, alone.
