This document provides instructions for creating a Jeopardy game in Microsoft PowerPoint. It outlines 14 steps to set up the game including creating an introduction slide, game board slide with values in a table, question slides with action buttons to advance to the next slide, answer slides with action buttons to return to the game board, and hyperlinks to connect the values on the game board to the question slides. Completing all steps including adding action buttons, hyperlinks, and 25 questions earns a total of 25 points.
1. Jeopardy Game
25 Points
Goal: For this project you will be creating a fully functioning Jeopardy game board using
Microsoft PowerPoint. This presentation will include a total of 52 slides: 1 Introduction, 1 Game
Board, 25 Questions, and 25 Answers.
Steps:
1. Open a new PowerPoint document.
2. On the First Slide type your name and the name of your game (Jeopardy, Coolest
Jeopardy Game Ever, Jeopardastic).
3. Create a New Slide by either clicking the New Slide shortcut or going to Insert, New
Slide.
4. This second slide will be your Game Board slide. Under the Slide Layout menu you are
going to select the Title and Table layout and create a table with Six Rows and Five
Columns.
5. You will then write values in the table down the first column starting in the second box
from the top. Once you have finished the first column, copy and paste it into the
remaining four columns.
6. Once you are finished with this, you can write your topics across the top row.
7. Now you will create two new slides and title one Question and one Answer.
8. On the question slide go to the Slide Show menu and select Action Buttons and the
Forward or next selection. You will then use the cursor to draw the action button in the
bottom right corner.
9. When the next box pops up you want to select Hyperlink to: Next Slide and, if you would
like, you may select a sound.
10. Now the question slide is set up. Next you want to go to the answer slide and once again
go to the Slide Show menu and select Action Buttons but this time you want to click on
the Home Button and draw the action button in the corner as before.
11. This time when the next box pops up instead of hyper linking to the Next Slide you want
to Hyperlink to: Slide… and select A place in this document, Slide 2 which is your Game
Board Slide.
12. Now select you Question and Answer slides by holding down the Shift key and clicking
on both. When they are both selected and have a navy blue box around them you want to
copy them using Ctrl C and then click below the two slides and hit Ctrl V to paste. You
will do this until you have a total of 52 slides.
13. The final step to setting up your slideshow is to set up the hyperlinks to your slides. To
do this go to your Game Board slide and Highlight the First money value. Now you can
either select Insert, Hyperlink or you can simply select Ctrl K. When the next box pops,
you want to click on Hyperlink to: A Place in this Document. Then you want to link this
first value to your first question slide, Slide 3. You will continue linking the money
values on your game board with the Odd numbered question slides until all are
hyperlinked.
