  • The class will be divided into teams.
  • One player from each team will come to the front of the room and grab a white board
  • Each team will also have a whiteboard at their group
  • Once a question is chosen, each player writes down their answer on their board. This is different from the TV as it is NOT a speed game of who can answer first
  • While they are writing, each team will quietly discuss and write their on their own whiteboard
  • Players then show their boards and points are awarded
  • If the player was correct, their teams gets the points
  • If they are incorrect, the team shows their answer. If this is correct they get HALF the amount
  • There are TWO Daily Doubles on the Board
  • Lastly, there is a FINAL JEOPARDY to find our winner
