Here's an idea! JEOPARDY PPTs.

Remember that old game show 'Jeopardy'? The one that completely turned the tables because the host would give the contestant the answer and in return the contestant had to reply with a question. Well, it turns out that teachers all across the board are now using Jeopardy Powerpoint Presentations to relive the game show experience in their own classrooms. It is a great revision activity before a test or exam.


  • Split class into groups/teams
  • Make sure each of them have a 'buzzer' and a team name
  • Put Jeopardy ppt onto SmartBoard (IWB) or use a laptop with projector/TV
  • Whichever team has the most points/'money' in the end wins! 


For example, here is a ppt that an English teacher used in order to revise with his class the novel, 'Lord of the Flies' : www.dukeofdefinition.com/LOTF_jeopardy.ppt
