Power Point Jeopardy. First of all, thanks for the good feedback on my instructions for a comparison/contrast graphic organizer. I have used this particular graphic organizer many times since I learned how to make one, and after I’ve taught it to the students, all I have to do is instruct them to make a comparison/contrast organizer.

Some of them even do it on their own without prompting if they think it will help them with their assignment. Also, students have reported using them in other classes. When I taught middle school, I had a colleague that taught us how to create a Jeopardy game using MS Power Point. It was extremely useful, especially for middle school. Open MS Power Point.Select the blank slide format.Choose your color scheme. Select the picture. Unofortunately, you’ll need to keep a paper with the answer key near you or else making this game will be a lot more complicated than it already is. If any of the instructions are unclear or if you need help, just contact me.
