Play JeoPARODY!
1. In PowerPoint, use Presenter View to display the JeoPARODY board to players.
2. Join the TEAM BATTLE session in Conferences i/o on a separate device (i.e. phone, tablet, laptop). Sign in as a Moderator.
** The host will need to manage TEAM BATTLE from a separate device. However, we recommend having another person moderate TEAM BATTLE in Conferences i/o while the host manages the game in PowerPoint if possible.
3. Assign players to teams and have them select a Team Captain to be their spokesperson to choose questions from the board. Instruct players to join their team in TEAM BATTLE on a separate device.
To start the game, choose to either have the host pick the first question or select a player at random. After this, the winner of each question will choose the next category and $value.
4. As players choose from the available clues on the game board, reveal each question by clicking the corresponding box on Slide #11. Read the question aloud.
5. While the game host is reading the question, the host or moderator should open the corresponding quiz question in TEAM BATTLE.
6. In PowerPoint, click the TEAM BATTLE trophy button located at the bottom of the slide. This will advance to the TEAM BATTLE live content slide (Slide #10):
7. The TEAM BATTLE moderator can then click Show Correct Answer followed by Score the Results which will update the leaderboard:
8. The host should use their keyboard’s right-arrow key to return to the JeoPARODY game board.
9. Repeat Play JeoPARODY! steps 1-7.
