JeopardyFor the 8th grade English Exam

RulesEach team picks a category and the value they want the question to be worth.

If answered correctly, they receive that amount of points, but if answered incorrectly, they lose that amount of points.

When a team answers a question incorrectly, the following team then has a chance to steal the question for half the amount of points. If they answer it correctly, then they can receive half the points and choose another question as they would normally do. Though if they cannot answer the question it goes to the next team and this this process continues until one of the team answers it.

If none of the teams are able to answer, then the next team goes.

After all questions have been answered, you move to the Final Jeopardy where each team may bet as much as they want for the final question.
