As a learning tool and fun activity, my girls love to play Jeopardy! We
had teams and each team had a horn they had to punch to sign in first.
That was creative, too! We had to have a referee (a parent) to judge who
was first, and we awarded points similar to the TV Show. The prize was a
bag of crests and what-nots that each team member could pick from. Bingo
supply stores seem to have a wealth of small, trashy articles that the
girls love.
You can easily set up a large piece of
posterboard and beg some card envelopes from your librarian and using index
cards you can create a very effective jeopardy game board.
As you can see, some of the answers have been worded to cause quite a bit
of hilarity amongst the contestants. I have several off-beat answers,
myself!!
We had different catagories:
(Remember, all answers are to be in the form of a question?? So where there are
question marks, the correct 'answer' would be: What is a ...?)

Naturally, you will want to change the History bits if you live outside
Canada. Feel free to change anything to suit yourself - these are mine and
no copywright laws will be broken.
Also, you will have to decided which questions are worth the value of 100,
200, 300 points, etc. Depending on the skills of your girls, many could be
difficult.
