Suggested Rules• The number and size of teams may vary depending on class size. Suggested team
size is 4-6 students. Teams can be assigned by having students work with the people around them, or by allowing students to move around and choose teams during class. Each group may be given a slightly different sound maker (bell, whistle, buzzer, etc.) to let them ring in.
• Give students 15-20 seconds per regular Jeopardy question and 30 seconds for Final Jeopardy.
• Students may be allowed discuss the answer as a team, but have them answer as a team (a team spokesperson may be chosen).
• For partial answers, ask the person to give a more complete answer. If they can't, they get 0 points (neither gain nor loss) and another group may answer but the second group gets only 5 seconds to do so.
• To play the full game (both rounds [50 questions] plus Final Jeopardy) should take around 30 minutes depending on whether you want to discuss any of the answers to the questions. You can also time each round and not question all the answers for a given round to same time. I'd probably plan to play it during lecture because we always seem more strapped for time during lab - and I'd like to try some of the kinesthetic activities that people have designed for my labs.
