Jeopardy


I had never played Jeopardy before I came to the U.S. and experienced in one of the NYU language class. However, it is a popular and used game here which is very easy to learn and play. Students love the game and a teacher could use this game across different content. For example, a language teacher could use it to access the students’  vocabulary, grammar knowledge or any other language skills. The game is quite flexible, and the website "Jeopardy Labs" helps teachers to complete all the complicated preparation tasks.
Before I always felt that making a Jeopardy was complicated as it required complex PowerPoint skill and it was a time-consuming process. However, Jeopardy Labs now could save the teacher a lot of time by providing many different templates, and as a user, just simply pick one that match your students’ situation and knowledge content.
I will definitely use this website in my classroom. For example, it is a great game for assessment. Game is always a great motivation for students.
