Psychiatric Jeopardy

To play this "Psychiatric Jeopardy" game in class, write the following categories on the chalk or white board, with the numbers of points under each title, just as they are here. Divide the class into 2 teams. Choose one student as a point keeper.

The first team chooses a category and a point value. You read the question from the corresponding box on the next page. The answers are on the third page. They can confer and make their guess as a team. If they are correct, they get the poin ts and they get to choose another question. If they are wrong, the other team gets to try.

If the second team is right, they get the points and it is their turn to choose a question. If they are wrong, announce the answer, and the first team gets their turn back. Erase the points each time a question is answered, and continue until all the questions are gone. The team with the most points wins.

You might give prizes (such as free pamphlets about mental illnesses, pens given free from drug companies, play money, or candy). Prizes or not, this is a good, fun review tool. Change any questions that you don't like. Make up your own jeopardy for other subjects.
