Jeopardy

I just spent some time creating a Jeopardy game in powerpoint for my class on Monday. It works pretty good and I thought I’d share the blank template with everyone. I added an eflgeek icon in the top right - feel free to change it if you want, you’ll need to edit the master slide file. jeopardy.zip

EFL Geek,
I have to give a demonstration class at a junior high school this Tuesday and would like to use the jeopardy file you made to teach relative pronoun clauses. I would also like to post the file on my blog (the one I will have modified, not the original) for the local teachers to download and use in their classes to teach relative pronoun clauses. I will also reference your blog in my post. Is this ok?

EFL Geek,

Your Jeopardy template rocks! I used it for an end of the year review class with my 3rd year jr. high school students and they loved it.

Thanks for sharing your hard work with us all.

Yodaki,
I’m happy to hear you liked it. This file is the second most downloaded file (253 downloads) from my site other than the how to open .hwp file (391)

Probably later this semester I’ll be adding a double jeopardy and final Jeopardy as well.
