This was a fun review for my 6^th graders!  My Jeopardy questions were rooted from Chapter 20 in the Social Studies book, “The World Around Us”.

I split my class of 25 into 5 groups of 5 students.  Each group had 30 seconds to select an appropriate team name.  If there was no decision when I asked for a name from a group, I would choose one for them, no exceptions. (There was more cooperation, less arguing)  Each team chose a spokesperson for the group.  They could discuss answers among themselves, but only the spokesperson could give the answer aloud for the class to hear. (This prevented a lot of shouting out answers)

Every team had an opportunity to select a category and number.  If a team got an answer wrong, the first hand I would see would be get an opportunity to answer correctly.  Whoever would answer correctly would get the points (no deductions for wrong answers).  At the end of the round, every team put their heads together to decide how much money they were going to bid on the final question.  Once I received every team’s bid, I asked the final question.  The answers were written down so there would be no cheating.  After the answer was revealed, points were tallied and the winning team received class tokens.
