  2. Take four 3” x 5” index cards and create the four categories for the game: Build, Sportsmanship, Science, and Design. Write one category on a card then place the cards on the poster board using the blue painter’s tape. Form a top row with the categories.
  3. Take three 3” x 5” index cards and create the answers for the Build category. On one side of the card will be the point value, and on the back of the card will be the answer.
    • “100” on front / “Wood” on back
    • “200” on front / “Screws” on back
    • “300” on front / “Catamaran” on back
  4. Take three 3” x 5” index cards and create the answers for the Sportsmanship category. On one side of the card will be the point value, and on the back of the card will be the answer.
    • “100” on front / “Congratulations!” on back
    • “200” on front / “Thank you” on back
    • “300” on front / “Can I help?” on back
  5. Take three 3” x 5” index cards and create the answers for the Science category. On one side of the card will be the point value, and on the back of the card will be the answer.
    • “100” on front / “The force that is applied to the boat to make it move.” on back
    • “200” on front / “This is what causes the boat to slow down.” on back
    • “300” on front / “This causes the motion of an object to change directions” on back
  6. Take three 3” x 5” index cards and create the answers for the Design category. On one side of the card will be the point value, and on the back of the card will be the answer.
    • “100” on front / “This comes in 220, 600, and even 1,000 grit.” on back
    • “200” on front / “A technique that helps paint bond to a surface” on back
    • “300” on front / “Placing wax on the haul of the boat will reduce this” on back
  7. Place the index cards on the poster board to form the Jeopardy game. Place the 100-point cards on the first row, the 200-point cards on the second row, and the 300-point cards on the last row of their designated categories.
  8. Place the poster board on the wall with the blue painter’s tape in a space the den can see.
  9. Become familiar with how to play Jeopardy.
    • An order is determined which team will go first, second, and third.
    • The first team picks a category and a point value.
    • The card is flipped over and the card is read out loud.
    • The first team to turn their flashlight on gets to answer first.
    • They must form their answer in the phrase of a question.
    • If they get it correct, they are awarded the points on the card, and they get to pick the next category and point value. If they get it incorrect, they lose the points on the card (they can go into negative). The other two teams may answer. The first of the other two teams to turn on their flashlight get a chance to answer but they don’t have to, keeping in mind if they get it wrong, they too will lose points.
      • If no one gets the answer correct the team that picked gets to pick again.
    • Play continues until all the cards have been picked and the team with the most points at the end win.
    • There is no double or final Jeopardy in this version.

During the meeting:

  1. Divide the den into three teams, as equal as possible.
  2. Explain the rules of the game.
  3. Play the game and see which team wins.
