Objective

To revise work that has been taught to the learners in a fun way.
This lesson will be suitable for Grade 10 – 12 learners.
Time
45 min
Technique
Jeopardy1
Materials needed
Board, flipchart or a large piece of paper with the appropriate categories and values written in numbers.
Method
Draw a large grid on the board or on the flipchart or big piece of paper. It should look like this:

Divide the learners into two groups. Ask the learners from each team to choose a team name.
Call on the first learner from one team and let him/her choose a subject and numerical value.2
Cross out the selected square so that it will not be chosen again and then ask the question. For the questions, use the grid provided at the end.
If answered correctly, post points or game-money for that team.
Ask a learner from the second team to choose a subject and numerical value.
Continue as above calling on learners one-by-one from alternating teams until all squares have been chosen. Remember to add the values of each team as each learner produces the correct answer.
Total the team scores and announce the winning team.
Discussion
Try to strike a balance between the excitement provoked by the game and the educational value of each correct answer. Allow time to discuss answers and to correct incorrect answers. Initiate a discussion with questions like: Which questions were the easiest or most difficult? What issues do we need to learn more about? What issues were missing, etc.?
The questions in the grid below can be exchanged with other questions, with questions based on a particular segment of the work or with work covered during previous lessons. These questions are merely examples of what can be asked.
