Jeopardy Game
We actually use a jeopardy style to review. Every year our association has a student competition at the state level and then again at the national level (Respiratory Care) and they use jeopardy type questions. we like to do that in class as well, to get them ready!
Lisa, it consistently amazes me that Jeopardy is a favorite among diverse learners. Please keep using it.

We the jeopady game in class also . One side of the class against the other side they get very Competitive. The students seem to really enjoy it.
Sandra, I like to equalize the dynamics when things get too cut throat by rotating who answers for a few questions or re-teaming people.

I agree! My students enjoy playing jeopardy as part of their review before an exam. Sometimes, they get too competitive thourgh.
Kristine, thank you for sharing your successes.

We, too, use Jeopardy games, replete with sound bites from the show built into it to help keep them a little more awake. Similarly, we also have Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, which adapts well, too, for reviews.
Tammy, the best complement is that the Dean has adapted your idea. Keep up the good work!

I have a wonderful game using Jeopardy for Cardiovasular and Nervous System. The student are set up in 4-5 groups. I even have double points under some of the boxes for the harder questions. They have 1 minute to answer the question as a group, then I give the next team the opportunity to answer the question. They love the competitiveness of the game. The Dean has also used my template to create a question and answer game for Constitution Day.
Theresa, I like this adaptation and individualizations of the jeopardy format. I can see by your description that it is successful.

I play a jeopary style review game. However, the students are not competing with eachother. Each student answers every question on a dry erase board. They earn "dollars" and on the day of the exam they can use those dollars to "buy" the answer to up to three questions on the exam. With this incentive, I find my students study thouroughly for the review and often surprise themselves with how much information they know.
I really like the Jeopardy idea! I'm a huge fan of the game show myself and I think that this would be a great way to review. Thanks for the idea!
Johan, I'm glad you are having success with Jeopardy. I hope you find some new activities in this course you can implement .

I love the jeopardy game reviews. I just finished a term with a jeopardy game for a review for their final, and I saw their test scores increase from the prior tests. I beleive in this type of class activity.
I have been using jeopardy for a while too now to review with my students. They absolutely love it an dlook foward to it.
Melissa, you are smart to focus on thosse activities that your learners like and enjoy.

I've used many different review games and activities with the students in this class. Jeopardy and family feud seem to be their favorites. However, my students really liked old fashion spelling bees and Pictionary to help connect the words to their spelling and images in order to make the connections.
Tamara, google, jeopardy k-12. This gives you sources teachers have created.

I have used Jeopardy in the past, but now I cannot find a NICE program to use? Any ideas where to dowload it?
Karen, it is cool when students engage in a learning activity that is so fun they forget they are learning. I try to do this at least once every class.
