Jeopardy Labs

What it is:  Jeopardy Labs is an awesome website that lets you build a Jeopardy game board without the use of Power Point!  All that you have to do to start is enter a password so that others can’t edit your game.  Then it is as simple as titling it, typing in categories and then entering questions and answers.  This is really SO easy to use!  You can also search through Jeopardy games created by others.  You won’t be able to edit these but you may find a ready made game that fits your needs perfectly.  Jeopardy Labs was created by Matt Johnson, an undergraduate at WSUV.  Impressive!

How to integrate Jeopardy Labs into the classroom:   Jeopardy Labs is a great way to review and practice class material in a fun, engaging way.  Use Jeopardy Labs to help your kids study for a test, to review a unit, or just as a fun learning activity on a Friday afternoon.  In the computer lab, I have used Jeopardy as a way to teach students how to perform searches.  Students can Google the questions and the first team to find the correct answer wins the points.  

 

Tips:  Before you reinvent the wheel, browse through other Jeopardy games…someone may have already done the work for you!

  1. First of all, I have a Mac…which is not always good.

    I have been trying to play the Jeopardy games and I can’t get the score feature to work. All I see is “Team 1 (or 1 and 2)”, a zero, and plus and minus signs.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks!
