Conclusion
A major challenge for instructors and trainers is finding a way to present information to students that engages all styles of learners. In addition, there is a desire to present the material in a variety of ways that keeps students interested. The use of interactive games provides a fresh new take on the review of information.
Jeopardy is one of several PowerPoint games that:•Engages all learning styles•Provides a fresh take on review for students•Provides presentation options•Encourages engagement of all students, including introverted students
Jeopardy is good for both small and large groups, and is a game that can be played in teams. It takes 20 minutes to play this game. In a classroom setting, it would probably take 20-40 minutes depending upon the size of the class.
