For most students medical terms are scary and sometimes boring, however when jeapardy is used to familiarize, along with building medical words using prefixes, suffixes and root words, this will usally spark a little more intrest because now they are accomplishing learning through a fun activity. And before they relaize their vocabulary has expanded.
Karen, When did any of the students think medical terms were fun? Only when you introduce and reinforce them with Jeopardy and other interactive activities as you have stated. Bravo!

I have used jeapoardy to review in the past, and found it to be very helpful. Mainly because the students find it very easy to relate to because of their past familiarity ~ now adding medical terms they become very excited to play.
Sophia, this is a universally understood activity/game that appeals to adult learners on many levels.

I agree that's it great because multiple levels & skills as students can participate allowing more engagement / involvement.
Tracy, I love that there are different levels of competition. Most adults love Jeopardy and are familiar with its format.
