I call this game “Jeopardy”, but it’s my own version that I’ve worked out the kinks on for the last 15 years of playing it with my students. This is not a Powerpoint presentation. You have to write out the game on your whiteboard. It’s not just like the game show on television, and the answers don’t have to be given in the form of a question, unless you want to. My students absolutely love this game, and so do I. They get very excited about it and look forward to Jeopardy day toward the end of every chapter. This game would be wonderful after having spent time learning possessive adjectives in French. This version of the game focuses on using possessive adjectives with family members.
