Lesson #1
JESUS “TEAM JEOPARDY”
10/2/05
To play Jeopardy as a review, I wrote the categories across the blackboard, with point
amounts under it (like below). I place a bean bag in the center of the table – first one to grab
it gets to answer the question. As they answered questions, I erased those points from the
board. Each player has a score sheet to keep up with their points.
This is….JESUS JEOPARDY!
