• Criss-Cross: In the third task, students must solve a crossword puzzle with questions about literary elements and plot events of the story. Shaded boxes on the crossword once unscrambled will reveal the code.
• Vocab Match Up: In the fourth task, students must fill in the blanks with vocabulary words from The Fall of the House of Usher. When matched correctly, shaded boxes reveal the code.
• Hidden Message: In the fifth and final task, students must decipher an encrypted message (a quote from The Fall of the House of Usher) using clues they collected during the first four tasks. When the message is written on the scroll and brought to you, they can finally escape the haunted house of Usher.

Have fun teaching French Halloween vocabulary with this Jeopardy game that has all the bells and whistles! Your students will love it, and it will save you a lot of time when looking for just the right activity to keep your students engaged.

This game would be wonderful to play along with my French Halloween Taboo Game because the same vocabulary is used. I recommend having students learn the vocabulary first, then play Jeopardy, then play Taboo. My students love it and they learn SO MUCH new vocabulary while staying engaged and having a blast.

Expect your students to:

• love this game and ask for more like it
• actively engage in using French this Halloween!
• laugh a lot and enjoy this time in French class using Halloween vocabulary
• get into it like no other game they've played in a classroom setting
• learn more words for Halloween
• connect with and enjoy playing a game with their classmates

This Jeopardy game includes:

• 1 powerpoint game
• 6 categories to choose from
• 31 questions
• double jeopardy question
• final jeopardy question
• music, timers, cheer sounds, boo sounds
• detailed instructions to make the most of "Jeopardy Day"

This is a version that I’ve worked out the kinks on over many years of playing it in my French middle school and high school classrooms.

The answers don’t have to be given in the form of a question unless you want to play that way.

My students absolutely love this game. They get very excited about it and always look forward to reviewing for quizzes and tests on "Jeopardy Day".
