The contents of this ADA Jeopardy Game was developed by the Disability and Communication Access Board, State of Hawaii, with thanks to the National Center on Accessibility for the development of the Jeopardy template using Microsoft PowerPoint software. Replication and use of the game is encouraged as long as it is being used for education and not-for-profit purposes.

The PowerPoint presentation along with the guide, can be downloaded from our web site, noted above, under ‘ADA Coordination.’

Welcome to ADA Jeopardy

This game is based upon the television show “Jeopardy” in which players are given ‘the ANSWER’ and must provide the ‘QUESTION.’

In the official game, a participant earns the $ value with a correct response but loses the $ value with an incorrect response. Paper money is not included. If you wish to use paper money, we recommend you purchase it from a game or craft store.

In the television show, contestants receive money for a correct response and lose money for an incorrect response. The television show is a competition and the moderator requires an exact response. Since this ADA Jeopardy game is a teaching tool for training purposes, rather than a competition, it is suggested that the ADA Jeopardy game be played with a variation on the exactness of the response depending upon the sophistication of the audience. An audience of ADA Coordinators or disability advocates should be able to provide exact wording responses. On the other hand, an audience of the general public or novices may often respond with the correct concept but may not always have the exact wording, especially if the response is a phrase and not a single word. Thus, trainer discretion is suggested in terms of acceptance of a correct response.

The authors suggest the following levels:

(1) With novice audiences, do not penalize players by taking away $ with an incorrect response. Losing money may discourage players from even offering a response. Also, accept responses that reflect the correct concept but not the exact wording.

(2) With intermediate level audiences, do not penalize players by taking away $ with a response which have the correct concept but not the exact wording. Tell the player that the response is not ‘exact enough’ but do not give them credit for a correct response. Let another participant offer another response. If responses are clearly wrong, then take away $.

(3) With advanced audiences, especially an audience of individuals who are ADA Coordinators, ADA consultants, or disability advocates, they should be trained to know and differentiate the subtleties of the terms and should be required to provide exact responses.

NOTE TO USERS:

THE JEOPARDY GAME WAS DEVELOPED USING POWERPOINT SOFTWARE.

IT IS VERY SENSITIVE TO TOUCH.

POINT THE CURSOR AND CLICK ONCE VERY LIGHTLY.

CLICKING MORE THAN ONCE OR HOLDING A CLICK FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME WILL CAUSE THE PROGRAM TO ‘JUMP’ TO A DIFFERENT SLIDE.
