Jeopardy

I use jeopardy in all of my classes at some point in the year.  I set the game up for the last 15 minutes of the class when I really need the students to stay engaged and I use the questions as a review for content.  I divide the class into two groups "A" and "1" and have questions worth 1-3 points.  I have a captain of each team and the winning team gets possession of "the great oracle"  until the next class. The "great Oracle" really is a plastic Halloween eyeball that came in a package of 20 at Halloween.  The students are so competitive and the level of preparation goes up each class as the students pumped up to win back the prize of "the great oracle".  I have never had a problem with the students forgetting to bring the prize to class. Learning can be fun and the addition of the prize brings out the sense of competition in the students.
