This is an interactive Jeopardy game that is focused on the Lorax. This can be used with the book and the movie. I recommend reading and watching both because the questions come from both forms of media. You can click on the game board points to go to that question. On each slide, there is a place to return back to the board. 

I would recommend splitting the students into teams and having one be assigned as the speaker. You can choose to do the normal Jeopardy way of answering in the form of a question, but for younger elementary, I would not recommend that. 

It is played like normal Jeopardy. So the first team to buzz in, gets to answer. If they get the answer right they add that amount of points, if they get it wrong, then they have that amount subtracted. If the first team gets it wrong, then another team gets to buzz in. There will need to be a scorekeeper for this game. I would also recommend having someone keep track of what questions they have already answered. 

The only slide that is not connected to the board, is Final Jeopardy. So you will need to go to the last 2 slides for the Final Jeopardy question and the answer. 

I really hope you enjoy it. This is my first Jeopardy game so please rate and review. Also, message me any feedback that could be used to improve!
