Power Point
I wanted to pass something bon to you that you can post. I pulled some For Strength of Youth Jeopardy questions down from the YWConnection (Submitted by:Stacie, Apache Junction, AZ Stake (Updated 9/12/04) and then pulled down a Scriptures Jeopardy PowerPoint game that was awesome from the Idea Door and then revised revised the PowerPoint files to create a Jeopardy Game using the For Strength of Youth questions and the PowerPoint file. I made some minor changes to the questions. I plan to use it for an activity at a Youth Conference and it will run well on a projected screen. Thanks for the great resources.
Thanks,

You may or may not allow players to use the FTSOY pamphlets. If you do allow it, you will want to keep the game going at a pretty fast pace. The answers need to be given quickly...no more than 10 seconds for look ups. Other than that, it is played just like the TV version. We did not have any Daily Doubles...which would have made the game much more interesting. Naturally, the kids all go for the big point value questions first. We had three teams, and after each question the spokesperson for each team rotated to the end of the line. You can use bells, or buzzers, even pots and pans to determine which team gets to answer. Just make sure they are not too similar, so that a judge can easily say which team rang in first. We had each answer written on cards large enough for all to read it. The host turns over the card and reads it aloud, but the kids can ring in even before he's finished reading it if they want to. Have fun!...we sure did. There are six categories, with five questions in each:
Here are some printabels I made to go with this game, I was thinking you could print out the "Answers" then turn them over and print out the points on the other side, then hang them up with points facing out, the categories on top of each row, then they could say, Honest for 100, you can turn it over to reveal the answer, then they can tell you the question.
