Unit 2: Budgeting Review Jeopardy! • Today we will review the material we’ve learned in Unit 2: Budgeting by playing a game of jeopardy! You are ALLOWED to use your notes, but the more you know off hand, the better! This review will be great to assess your knowledge of the learning objectives in Unit 2. • First let’s cover the rules & then divide into teams!

Rules: • The Jeopardy board consists of 30 questions, divided into six categories. There will be TWO teams. The game starts when the first team chooses a category and question with a corresponding point value. • The higher the point value, the more difficult the question. • The ‘questions’ are actually posed as statements and you must answer the ‘questions’ in the form of a question. • When questions are asked either team can buzz in to answer. Your team will have 15 seconds to answer before your turn is loss and the opposing team can try to answer. • The team that answers correctly gains control of the board and picks next question.

Rules: • The board contains ‘double jeopardy’ questions. At this time only the team who landed on the ‘D. J. ’ can answer. You will wager (maximum: your total score) what you’d like to bet on the question BEFORE seeing it. You will have 30 seconds to answer. • The final jeopardy round will be a single question posed to each team. You will see the category, and then be asked to wager (maximum: total score). You will be asked the question and have 30 seconds to WRITE down the answer (remember: In the form of a question). • The team with the highest score at the end of the final jeopardy round WINS!

Now Let’s Play!
