The purpose of the activity is to review material presented in an instructional unit. This game actively engages students in comparing the earth's continents in terms of area, population, population densities, annual growth, and other geographic terms. These comparisons can then serve as the basis for further discussions and activities. Used in the beginning of the school year, during a class party, or at the end of the year. Students will learn more about their class members.
Students line up in teams.
Ask a question to the first person in the first team. Give each group a piece of newsprint, and colored marker for each student. Inform students of categories for Jeopardy and rules of game. First, divide your class into two groups. Then, draw a line or form some sort of small boundary between the two groups.
