Jeopardy Rules:

You will be playing a Jeopardy game created especially for this GSA Healthy Relationship Skills Course. The game is very much like the televised version, with answers presented on the game board and contestants responding with questions. You will be playing Jeopardy in teams. Each team must select a captain who will be in charge of the “buzzer” and will be the spokesperson. You can decide as a club what to use for a buzzer. It could be raising your hand or playing a sound of your phone.

There are six categories: Gay & Lesbian people, LGBTQ+ Activism and Actions, Legal Wins, Trans and Bisexual trailblazers, and Show me the Data. Under each column are five clues (phrased in answer form), increasing in value and difficulty. The first team to go picks a category and a dollar amount. The host then reads the answer (for example: Large yellow bird on Sesame Street”). Once the answer is read, a green indicator appears at the bottom of the screen (if playing the live “superteacher” version), and the captain for each team may ring in using the signaling device (or a signal that the group agrees on).

The first contestant to ring in successfully must respond in the form of a question. (for example: Who is Big Bird?) A correct response earns the dollar value of the clue and the opportunity to select the next clue from the board. An incorrect response or a failure to ring in within the time limit deducts the dollar value of the clue from the team’s score and gives any remaining opponent(s) the opportunity to ring in and respond. If none of the contestants gives a correct response, the host reads the correct response and the contestant who has most recently given a correct response to a previous answer chooses the next answer.

Final Jeopardy! When all the categories have been selected (or it’s the end of your club meeting). A category is announced by the host for the final Jeopardy question. The teams will each agree on and write down a wager, based on the category, of as little as $0 or up to as much money as they have accumulated. The contestants have 30 seconds to write a response, again phrased in the form of a question.

Have fun!

Modifications for Zoom:

(directions read by the host)

You will be playing jeopardy in teams of 3 to 5 people.
I will send you to your groups to decide on team name.
Then, we will return and play as individuals, but scored together.

Your buzzer is the hand-raising or reaction function .
Let’s all practice the hand-raising or reaction option in zoom.

On a computer: click “participants”—it’s at the bottom of the panel

On a mobile device: Click “More” on the lower right hand side the screen next to “participants” . select “Raise Hand” or “lower hand”

When we get the final question, you will be put back in your groups to decide a wager. You can bid up to the amount you have scored so far.
Then I will ask the final question and send you back to the groups to formulate an answer for on minute. One person from each team will private message me the group’s answer.
