1. Rules for Jeopardy
Each Group must designate a speaker, a time keeper, and a score keeper.
Speaker: you are the only person allowed to give answers. If anyone else in your group answers (or is talking too loud) the question it will be treated as if your team gave an incorrect answer.
Time Keeper: you will use the stop watch to keep time on all questions. Each Team will receive 30 seconds from the time the question has been read to answer.
Score Keepers: you will keep track of all team scores (including your own).
Remaining group members: each of the remaining group members can choose one (1) and only one resource in which to find answers. (resource examples: book, notes, quizzes, directed readings.)
You will have one opportunity to answer the question. If you miss the question you will loose the points from your cumulative score and it will be passed on to the next group to steal the points.
If a question comes to you to steal the speaker may say “PASS” and you are not obligated to answer it. If your team tries to answer the question but gets it wrong you will loose those points as well.
