FTP Description:
Because the files that have the ready-made PPT’s of the game shows on them are too big
for disks I have put them on a PUSD District Server. To get them we will be using a
protocol called FTP to download them.
Step 1
FTP stands for file transfer protocol and it is a technique for transporting files across the
Internet.
Step 2
First you need to open Explorer Internet Browser and then type the following FTP
address in the address bar ftp://ftp.prescottschools.com
Log In with your username and password being the same as your e-mail account.
You should see the
following sets of folders
Drag the folder you want off
the webpage onto your
desktop
Continue this until you have
all three programs on your
desktop: Jeopardy, Squares,
and WWTBAM.
Zipped Documents
Zipped documents are folders that have other folders, programs, or documents in them
and they have been compressed to take up less space and for convenience. The will have
a zipper on the front.
To work with them you need to double click them and then tell the computer to unzip or
decompress and tell it where you want the decompressed folder to go on your computer.

Read-Only Documents
Read only documents can be opened but the contents can not be changed for saving. All
of these PPT’s are read-only. That is a good thing. You don’t want to change the originals
because you don’t want to overwrite the blank document.
To solve this dilemma you need to use Save As under the File menu and save copies of
your work as a new name: Possibly use the unit and then Jeopardy as an example-Egypt
Jeopardy questions.
Jeopardy Directions
1. Scroll through the presentation and enter the answers (which are really
the questions) and the questions (which are really the answers).
2. Enter in the categories on the main game boards.
3. As you play the game, click on the TEXT DOLLAR AMOUNT that the
contestant calls, not the surrounding box.
4. When they have given a question, click again anywhere on the screen to
see the correct question.
5. Keep track of which questions have already been picked by printing out
the game board screen and checking off as you go.
6. Click on the “Game” box to return to the main scoreboard.
7. Enter the score into the black box on each player’s podium.
8. Continue until all clues are given.
9. When finished, DO NOT save the game. This will overwrite the program
with the scores and data you enter. You MAY save it as a different name,
but keep this file untouched!

Purpose
If you are unfamiliar with the game show, the purpose of this program is to
answer questions correctly to work your way up the dollar values to reach $1,000,000.
$1,000 and $32,000 are milestones where you can't leave with less than that much
money.
How to Play
Have student(s) as contestants and type in your questions prior to playing the
game. The green polygon is to be moved by dragging over the correct answer. Once you
move it over the correct answer.
Proceed through the game sequentially. At this point, you cannot eliminate two
answers for the 50-50, nor can you cross-out lifelines once they are used. Otherwise,
play it just as you would the game show.
Enjoy!

Squares User Manual
Purpose
If you are unfamiliar with the game show, the purpose of this program is to answer questions
correctly to form 3 X's or O's across, up and down, or diagonally. This program is excellent for
classroom instruction because you can have 1 or 2 students take up each square and also have
2 contestants. This allows for up to 20 participants at a time.
How to Play
When you reach the opening screen with the names, you must click your mouse each time you
want a new name or caricature to appear. Then, after all caricatures have appeared, click again
for the main game screen. Have one to two students in pretend to be in each square. One of the
two contestants picks their first square. Let's say Susie goes first and she is X. She chooses
square 5. You must click on the person in the square in order to go to the question for slide 5.
After clicking on the person, the question for that square appears.
Let's say the question is "What year did Columbus come to America?"
The person who you have assigned to the middle square then has to answer (or bluff) to that
question.
Let's say that Johnny is square 5 and says "1998".
Susie then has to agree or disagree with Johnny's answer. After she has made her decision, you
click the mouse again and the correct answer appears. Click on the menu arrow to return to the
main game board. If Susie agreed with Johnny, she was wrong. Therefore, you would put an "O"
in the black box in square 5 by clicking in the black box and typing and uppercase "O". If Susie
disagreed with Johnny, you would put an "X" in the black box in square 5. Alternate contestants
until someone has made 3 in a row. When that has happened, you can type in a "1" in their
scoreboard section by clicking in the black box and entering the "1". If you aren't familiar with
adding more slides to the presentation, you can now click on the "Click here if X wins" button to
go to the winning slide. If you want more than one game, you can either copy additional slides, or
just create multiple presentations.
*****NOTE: Once you enter the "X" and "O" into the game board, you must go back and delete
them from within the presentation. If you do not clear off the game board before exiting, they will
be saved as part of the presentation!
