Overview of PowerPoint Jeopardy TemplatesIntroductionJeopardy games have been very successfully used in education to review for tests or quizzes in the classroom. Creating a Jeopardy game can take a lot of time. Starting from an electronic template in PowerPoint can save a lot of time and provide a fast and easy way to set up the game for play and to save the game for future use. The electronic PowerPoint template can also be quickly and easily edited to update or change a game. The electronic game template can also be used by students for student-created versions of the game. Facilitating student-created versions of Jeopardy not only saves the teacher out of class prep time, but it also promotes higher level thinking and more active engagement in learning for the student. Facilitate Student Created GamesStudents can use the electronic template to create individual games, or students can work in small cooperative groups to create games. To use the templates for small cooperative groups, each individual in the group could create draft items for a single category or a single level. The different categories and/or the different levels of items can be used to differentiate the work for members of cooperative groups. General InformationEach template has four categories of items and four levels of questions/problems for each category. Each question/problem card has one correct response and three incorrect responses. Each response takes the user to a feedback card. Correct responses take the users to a “correct response” feedback card with an applause sound effect. Incorrect responses take the users to an “incorrect response” feedback card with a bomb sound effect.The games are designed to be played with mouse clicks. Advancing slides on mouse clicks has been deactivated so that the slides are advanced only by clicking buttons. If the user uses the key pad and types the enter key or the arrow buttons, the slides will advance in order rather than through playing the game. Do not use the key pad to play the game. The Original TemplateThe Jeopardy Template is the traditional game template with buttons to click to select questions/problems from each category and each level within each category. Buttons take the user to questions. Buttons on the question/problem slide take the user to the feedback slide and the feedback slide has a button to take the user back to the category question/problem selection board to continue playing. All buttons on the category question/problem selection board remain active during the entire game. Users are allowed to attempt the same question/problem multiple times. This option has built in differentiation to allow students to listen to the responses of peers and attempt or review the same items multiple times. Disappearing ButtonsThe Jeopardy Template with Disappearing Buttons allows users only one attempt to correctly answer each question/problem. Once the button is selected on the category question/problem selection board, the button for that specific question disappears, thus restricting access to that question/problem for the rest of the game. This option is good for games played within a more limited time frame. This option also makes it easier to ensure that all questions/problems are attempted/reviewed within the game. This option looks more like the TV Game Show version and makes keeping score easier.Forced Correct ResponseThe Jeopardy Template with Forced Correct Response is very similar to the Jeopardy Template with Disappearing Buttons, in that the button for each question/problem disappears from the selection board after it is selected. The difference in this version is that a correct response must be supplied to get back to the question/problem selection screen. Each incorrect response takes the user back to the question/problem to make another attempt at providing the correct response. Only the correct response feedback slide will take the user back to the question/problem selection screen. This option is excellent for promoting a more in-depth review of the content. This option insures that the users are exposed to the correct response. Review OptionThe Jeopardy Template with the Option to Review Responses is similar to the Jeopardy Template with Disappearing Buttons. The button for each question/problem disappears from the selection board after it is selected. The difference in this template is that each feedback card gives the user the option to go back to the question/problem slide. If the user gets the question/problem wrong, s/he can select to go back and try again or to continue playing by going to the selection board and selecting another question/problem. This same option is also available on the correct response feedback slide. If the user simply guesses or wants to be certain s/he remembers the question/problem, s/he can select to go back and review the question/problem before moving on to the next question/problem. This option might be particularly useful for whole class games. If some students have questions about the feedback or want to go back and rethink the question/problem, the option to try again or review is useful to take advantage of teachable moments and promote more understandings in a review session. ................
