This is Christmas Jeopardy. It's played like other Jeopardy games.
It uses the template provided by the Halloween Jeopardy game: https://altopedia.net/activities/84-halloween-jeopardy
I like to have every group answer with white boards, so that way no group gets bored waiting for another group to answer. I also simply rotate which group gets to choose the next question, but you can play it so that the fastest team to answer correctly gets to choose the next question.
There are 1nen, 2nen, and 3nen JHS versions.
The only questions that may not be straightforward to understand are the "Translation" questions--there, they simply need to translate the sentence into Japanese.
Also, I'm sorry it's a bit American-centric. You should be able to change some of the questions to be about your home country, however.
Make the students answer with complete sentences on their white boards, so they're practicing the grammar. It's your discretion whether the actual "answer" can use romaji/Japanese or it should be whether English-only.
For instance, "Questions 1, $100," I enforce the correct spelling of "red and green" rigidly, but for "Questions 1, $300," I give full points for any romaji spelling of "elves," and for "Questions 1, $600," I give half points for the Japanese answer, "sekitan."
I also give hints (like writing the first letters or part of the spelling on the board) if I feel like they're struggling.
One last thing--originally I had some New Horizons questions as one of the categories for 1nen and 2nen, but I revised the files to include Christmas questions only in case some people don't use New Horizons, but I've gone ahead and uploaded both versions.
Used the 2nen revised version today. We had so much fun! Thank you for sharing!
Looks good, but with this activity, are there no answers provided? Just questions? I've never seen those chocolate oranges before haha had to look it up on google.
I have to say I was surprised to see a Terry's chocolate orange after reading that it was American-centric, haha. Made me wonder if they were a thing over there too, not just the UK.
@Miles, I'm from Texas. My family didn't eat them often, but my best friend's family gave them to the kids every year at Christmas. Not sure how many people in the states actually get them for Christmas, but my friend always shared hers with me so they remind me of Christmas :)
The 3rd year file doesn't seem to open... Is it just me?
Not just you VinShida. It may have been corrupted. It happens on occation with powerpoints. try using one of the other ones and editing it as needed. This was the jeopardy I used to make my 2021 version
It was a little annoying that the questions have no definite answers, some of them are open ended enough that it's difficult to tell. For example, one student answered 'Chicken' to the question, "What do Americans eat for christmas?" And while I don't doubt that some do, it's probably not a christmas food. I'll edit it for my future classes to be multiple choice.
