To get started, go to https://jeopardylabs.com/118825 . You will see the following screen listing two game options: Water Jeopardy - Level 1 and Water Jeopardy - Level 2. Level 1 questions are primarily designed for grades 3-6, while Level 2 questions are more suited for older audiences.
After you have selected a game appropriate for your audience, you will see the following screen. Here you are able to select from 1 to 16 teams. For groups of 20 or fewer students, I suggestion dividing the group into two teams. On this screen you can also Print off the questions and answers to prepare. Please DO NOT Edit. When ready press Start to begin.
The Jeopardy board is shown below. There are five categories and five questions for each category. Ask one team to select a category and point value to get a question. Note that as the point value gets higher, the questions become more challenging. Click on the point value box to reveal the question. The question is actually a statement that the student or team must answer in the form of a question.
For example, if the statement is "In this process, water travels in a sequence from the air to the earth, and then returns to the atmosphere", the student must answer in the form of a question, "What is the water cycle?".
If the answer is correct, you can award points by clicking on the Team 1 "+" sign. If incorrect, then you can either leave the score the same, or click on the "-" sign to deduct points. Alternate back and forth among teams to prompt for category and point value choices.
I strongly recommend practicing beforehand to get comfortable with navigating the controls (Esc button), (Spacebar), etc.
