Guiding Jeopardy!

A tremendous thank-you to Tiger (aka Dooreen) Rousseau for creating this game and for posting it to the WAGGGS-L Mailing List!

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 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.

We had different categories and here is an example: (Remember, all answers are to be in the form of a question??)
