    Step 1: Prepare the Game Board

    • Categories and Questions: Create a game board with categories, each containing five questions of increasing difficulty and point value (e.g., 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 points).
    • Digital or Physical Board: You can use a digital presentation (e.g., PowerPoint, Google Slides) or a physical board with cards.

    Step 2: Divide the Class into Teams

    • Team Formation: Split the class into 2-4 teams, depending on the size of the class.
    • Team Names: Allow teams to choose fun names to build camaraderie.

    Step 3: Explain the Rules

    • Overview: Explain that the game is played by selecting questions from a board and answering them for points.
    • Turn Order: Establish how teams will take turns. Typically, teams take turns choosing a category and point value.
    • Answer Format: Remind teams that answers should be given as statements, not questions (e.g., "The answer is the cell").

    Step 4: Start the Game

    • Choosing Questions: The first team selects a category and a point value (e.g., “Epithelial Tissue for 300”).
    • Reveal the Question: The host (you) reads the question aloud.
    • Answering: The team that chose the question answers first. If they answer correctly, they earn the points and select the next question. If they answer incorrectly, other teams have a chance to answer.

    Step 5: Scorekeeping

    • Correct Answers: Award the team the point value of the question if they answer correctly.
    • Incorrect Answers: Deduct points if you're playing with penalties, or allow other teams to answer.
    • Daily Double: If a team selects a Daily Double, they can wager any amount of their points and answer the question for that wagered amount.

    Step 6: Final Jeopardy

    • Reaching Final Jeopardy: After all the questions are answered, move on to Final Jeopardy.
    • Wagering: Teams can wager any portion of their total points based on the category announced by the host.
    • Answering: Teams write down their answers after the question is revealed. Once time is up, teams reveal their answers.
    • Adjust Scores: Adjust scores based on the wagers and correct/incorrect answers.

    Step 7: Declare the Winner

    • Highest Score Wins: The team with the highest score at the end of Final Jeopardy wins the game.
    • Tie-Breaker: In case of a tie, ask an additional tie-breaker question to determine the winner.

    Tips for a Successful Game

    • Time Management: Keep the game moving by setting time limits for answering.
    • Engagement: Encourage all teams to participate, even without selecting questions.

    Fun and Learning: Ensure the game remains fun, but also educational, reinforcing the concepts being taught
