Module 4c
Jeopardy!
Serving Customers with Disabilities
In the popular game show, Jeopardy!, contestants select questions from different categories and must quickly respond to these questions to accumulate points. This module is an adaptation of this game show and was designed to provide an opportunity for participants learn about serving customers with disabilities, in a format that is active and engaging. But the fast-paced format is not just for fun. Participants will have to make split second decisions about how to deal with situations when they arise. Being able to apply the principles presented in this and related modules (e.g., “Serving Customers”) is key to their ultimate success in serving customers with disabilities.
Facilitator’s Tips:
• Keep the tone light and fun. If this activity is successful, there should be some laughter and light-heartedness.
• Most of the time, the question is answered correctly by the first participant. If this is not the case, don’t let the question go beyond two participants. After two unsuccessful tries, simply give the correct answer and move on the next question.
• Don’t be too strict about what is a “correct answer.” If a participant gives an answer that is close to correct, count this as a correct answer, but add any ideas that could elaborate on the answer.
