Language Arts Jeopardy

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Be the next Alex Trebek in this language arts themed Jeopardy game! Categories include Lit Terms, Short Stories, Romeo and Juliet, Tom Sawyer, and The Miracle Worker. By clicking on each category (points from 1-5), a slide with the "answer" appears, giving students a chance to guess the "question" in the "What is" format. Clicking again will confirm the answer. Even if the categories don't fit your curriculum, you can use the presentation template to create your own categories and questions.<
