Jeapordy

Great timing with your questions. I just finished reviewing my high school classes for their mid-term exams. I used the "Jeapordy" game for the reviews. I have a power point set up for the game if you want me to email it to you. You will have to go into the slides to change categories and give answers/questions. I projected mine on the big board so all can see. It was a lot of fun which led to some great learning. Works just like the TV game show.

Let me know.
