Jeopardy Review Game Rules -No arguing with Mr Jeopardy Review Game Rules -No arguing with Mr. Santos or other teams -Noise level must remain below Level 2 (partner talk) -Remain in your seat -All notes should be put away -Follow these rules or we will not play the game.

Game Procedure Each team member should have an answer sheet and be writing the answers down with each round. Each team will have a team responder every Q&A round. After each question is displayed, every team will have 30 seconds to write their answer on their paper. After 30 seconds, all team responders (and only the team responders) will be asked to display their answer by holding it up in the air. Every team with the correct answer gets the points; every team with the wrong answer loses points After each Q&A round, the team responder will change and become the next person to the left.
