Geology
Jeopardy!

2. Directions:
As you play the game, click on the TEXT DOLLAR AMOUNT that the contestant calls, not the surrounding box.
When they have given a question, click on the “Answer” box to see the correct question.
Click on the “Scores” box to return to the main scoreboard.
Enter the score into the black box on each players podium.
Continue until all clues are given.
When finished, DO NOT save the game. This will overwrite the program with the scores and data you enter.

3. Directions:
Choose a player. The player whose last name is closest to the END of the alphabet chooses the first question. They have “control” of the board.
Place an object in between each player. When the question appears, the player that picks up the object first gets to answer. Ties go to the player with “control of the board. If they get it correct add the $ amount; deduct the $ amount if they answer incorrectly.
When a Daily Double is clicked, the player that chose it must place a wager, before they see the question. The wager can be up to the $ amount they have at that time. No others can answer it.
When Final Jeopardy is played, $ amounts should be wagered from each player before reading the question. Each player should write their answer down at that time. After the answer is shown calculate the scores.
