INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Be sure to save each picture that you find to your computer. Try to find a variety of cats that vary in size, color, hair type, etc. Also, make sure that you get some pictures that are close-up shots as well as photos that show cats engaging in their everyday routine such as walking, eating, lying down, and interacting with people. You don't have to limit your picture search to the internet. You can also find similar pictures in magazines and pamphlets. Look at the picture and determine where you are on the anxiety scale. You do this by deciding how much anxiety you experience on a scale of 1-10. One represents virtually no anxiety while 10 reflects extreme anxiety. As you do this, try to keep yourself calm. Also, do your best to refrain from looking away. If you do find yourself looking away, be sure to refocus on the picture as soon as you notice. Continue this each day until you experience very little anxiety when you look at the picture. Determine in advance how long you will look at the picture each day. 10-15 minutes seems to be a reasonable amount of time to participate in this daily activity. If you find yourself getting anxious, try deep breathing to regain your composure. Sit in a chair that can support your back. Breathe in so that the air moves from your belly to your chest. Count to four as you slowly breathe in. Then breathe out so that you feel the air moving back down from your chest and out of your body. Count to seven as you release the air. Repeat as needed. Try using this relaxation technique as you look at the picture of the cat. After a few days of doing this, the anxiety that you experience should lessen. Be sure to always note where you are on the anxiety scale. Remember, your goal should be to get to a one or two on the scale. Use these pictures to create a collage by gluing them all onto a poster board. When you are no longer experiencing anxiety from looking at the picture of a single cat, now it's time to move on to looking at multiple cat pictures. Taking this approach allows you to slowly build your confidence. Be sure to spend several minutes each day intentionally looking at the collage. Continue to do this until the pictures no longer cause you anxiety. You are slowly increasing your exposure by starting with a picture of one cat and moving to pictures of multiple cats. The goal is to eventually desensitize yourself from cats altogether. However, if you start with multiple cats, it may become too overwhelming, causing you to quit before it works. Therefore, it's important to start with something that you can handle. You may want to hang the collage in an area where you will frequently see it. This can help quicken the desensitization process. However, continue to set aside 10-15 minutes specifically for this activity. Remember, the goal is to reach a one or two on the anxiety scale when looking at the collage. Search for short videos of cats on YouTube that are pleasant to watch and repeatedly view them for a few days. Initially this may be anxiety provoking but you should continue to watch the videos until they no longer cause you anxiety. Watching videos is a great way to prepare you for the transition from looking at pictures of cats to making actual physical contact. It may be a good idea to have a friend preview the Youtube videos before you watch them. This way you can avoid the occasional video that shows an unfriendly cat which could worsen the phobia. Continue to monitor your anxiety scale. When you reach one or two on the scale then you can move to making physical contact.

SUMMARY: Search the internet for images of cats. Select one of the pictures and print it out, preferably in color. Look at the picture for several minutes each day. Print out the remaining cat pictures that you have saved on your computer. Watch videos of cats.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you're playing this Jeopardy game as a way to study for your classes, use your school texts and notes to decide what the categories should be. Choose the major themes from the chapters that your upcoming exam will cover, for example. If this is a recreational game, you can either decide on the categories as a group, or the host alone can choose them. Whoever is playing the host of this round will be completing the rest of these steps. Write one category on each index card and pin those 6 index cards at the top of a sturdy piece of poster board. Line them up in a single row. Make sure to write legibly (or type and print out the text, if you prefer). You can also use a marker board if you don't have poster board on hand. Write the 6 categories at the top of the marker board and draw lines between them to separate the columns. The point values range from $100 to $500 in each category, so you will have one card for each of these values $100, $200, $300, $400 and $500. Be sure to write legibly, or you could type and print it out if you want it to look extra nice. The $100 question should be the easiest one. For instance, if your first category is "Code Names" you could write something like, "James Bonds' Agent number." As the host, you'll need to create a list with all of the answers on a separate sheet of paper. In this case the answer would be, "What is 007?" Remember, in Jeopardy contestants are given the answer (the clue) and their response should be in question form. Only the host should work on the answer key. Make sure to pin the card so that the $100 side is facing out. Before you pin the card up, you may want to write $100 on the board first, then pin the card over that. When the host pulls the card from the board to read the clue, the spot will be empty but the point value will stay on the board. Once you get pretty far along in the game, this will help to give the board a little structure. You will follow the same process as before. Remember, the higher the point value, the harder the question should be, so increase the difficulty for this next clue/answer. Pin the $200 card directly beneath the $100 card in Category 1. The cards will go in ascending order, starting with $100 at the top of the column, and ending with $500 at the bottom. Make sure to pin the card so that the $200 side is facing out. This will be the practice for all of the clue/answer cards. Then follow the same procedure for the rest of the game board until all of the categories have completed index cards pinned up. At this point, the game is ready to play.

SUMMARY:
Choose the 6 game categories and decide who will play the host. Get 6 index cards for the game categories. Take 5 more index cards and label them with point values. Turn over the $100 index card and write your first clue for Category 1 on the back. Pin the $100 card directly beneath the category it goes with. Turn over the $200 index card and write down the next clue. Continue the process for the remaining point values in Category 1.
