1. Review question formation and write a couple of questions together as a class before the groups begin on their own questions.
2. The teacher can add her/his own categories with vocabulary or verbs, organizing the categories by degree of difficulty.
quién(es) who
qué what
cuál(es) which/which one(s)
cuándo when
por qué why
dónde where
Handout 1
Working in a group of four students, review the information from the category your group has been given on the handout from your teacher. Write four answers for your category, and then write the question to each answer. Remember that just in the game of Jeopardy, you will see the answer first and have to ask the question to win the points.
