Jeopardy Game- Post Program Activity Logistics

Materials Needed: List of Jeopardy Questions/ Answers for Jeopardy Questions (easier), List of Double Jeopardy Questions/ Answers for Double Jeopardy Questions (harder)

The logistics are as follows. The group will be split into teams of no more than 8-10 people on each team. Any larger and it becomes too unmanageable. A question will be asked of the first team. This question will be taken from the set of easier questions which have been prepared. The team will RAISE THEIR HANDS and will not shout out an answer. If the team is correct they will receive one point. If the answer is incorrect than the next team will be able to guess what the answer is. If the team answers correctly on the first question they will be able to try and answer a second question. This second question will be harder than the first. If the group answers this correctly, they will receive a second point. If they do not answer correctly, they will lose the point from the first right answer and the question will then go to the next group. Each team will follow this same pattern, easier question first, if correct can stay with one point or risk going for a second tougher question which if answered correctly will give them two points or if incorrect will cost them the first point. All of the answers to the questions will be found in the pre-visit activities, the park brochure, exhibit signs in the house, video in Visitor Center, and from park staff themselves. The game will last approximately 30-45 depending on time limitations for the group. The winning group will be the one who gets the most points and will win an unspecified award.
