Jeopardy

Hey Everyone, I tried out jeopardy in my social studies grade one class and it was amazing to see the interaction and the excitement. The quiz was all about whatever they have done the past terms to current. They enjoyed it thoroughly. However, there is one question that arose. I maintained the score throughout the game. Some of the children are still working on their team player skills. So at the end of the game, I did not announce the results and told the kids that it was important that they all participated and it did not really matter who won or lost. To 2 or 3 kids, knowing the results was really important to them. Did I do the right thing by not calling out the results?

Depends upon what you felt Joanna:-)! What was your objective for the jeopardy session? Was it to generate instant energy and involvement amongst all the pupils or was it identify the best team?

Well kids that age, it's like having a party game and not giving the winner a gift. Healthy competition is good....you could use the opportunity to teach them to lose gracefully and be humble winners:)
