4. Let’s Play Jeopardy! We will split into 3 equal groups. Everyone will sit in a line in their chairs and will take turns on answering questions. The first person will choose the question they want to answer by reading the section first followed by the amount they want out of 100, 200, 300 or 400. There will also be a chance to bet however many points they want of their groups overall points with the two random Daily Doubles. When a player gets a question wrong they lose that amount of points from their overall group score.
