Jeopardy Game Instructions

The Pain Jeopardy  is a fun way to reinforce content that has just been, or has recently been taught in an in-service about pain management in the nursing home setting. You may wish to review the slides to make sure your in-service covers the content found in the game.

Items you need to play the game

• Computer with ability to project the Power Point file onto a wall or screen
• A reward, to be used in a raffle, for the ‘winner’ or the winning team, depending on how you choose to play
• A buzzer (or bell) for up to three players from each of two teams (total of six, but can be modified to fit your group size)

Instructions

Each point amount (like the 300 pt under the column heading “Barriers”) is linked to a question. When you are on the Point Board slide (slide 2), you will press the enter key or click on the heading and point amount requested which will link you to the question. Pressing enter or clicking again will bring you to the answer. On each answer slide is a small box with a ‘home’ on it in the right hand bottom corner. Hovering over this will take you back to the Point Board slide.
