1 DISABILITY JEOPARDY Play this game like the TV game except that you don t need to state answers in the form of a question. To prepare, tape the categories and wager amounts on the wall in a grid with the categories in a row across the top and the wager amounts in columns under each category. To play, divide the siblings into groups (2 or more groups). Taking turns one at a time, a player from each team tells the leader which category and what wager they wish to make. The leader asks the question that corresponds to that category and wager. The team can then come up with an answer. If it is correct, the team gets that amount of money (i.e. points) for their team bank. To keep it moving, we then go to the next team but you can have a team ask for another question until they get one wrong. The team with the most money in their bank gets snack first. Sibs like to create their own questions for future rounds. This game was created by Amy Marler, Sibshop Coordinator for WisconSibs, Inc.
