Marcia,

    I recently heard someone adapting Jeopardy to a board football game. I
tweaked the idea a bit. First I made a football field with yard markers out
of several pieces of construction paper...and laminated it. Then a series of
art questions, relating to the lesson, were made. Divide the class up into
two teams. They can make up team names if they wish. Have a coin toss and
who ever wins can receive...be the first team to answer questions. I have the
questions grouped into yards gained...5, 10, and 15 yards. The questions get
tuffer the more yards they are worth. Each correct answer they gain those
yards. They can choose to run the ball, or pass the ball. If they answer
incorrectly the other team has a chance to answer. If the defense answers
correctly on a run, the offense looses the number of yards the question is
worth. If the defense answers correctly on a pass, they intercept the ball
for the number of yards the question is worth. If neither team gets the
correct answer, the ball stays where its at. I know, gets confusing. Teams
can also be penalized yards. For example, if someone shouts out an answer and
it is not their turn, their team gets penalized those yards. If the other
team answers out of turn then they are penalized. Poor sportsmanship is an
automatic 15 yard penalty.
    I haven't been able to try it yet, I'm still working the bugs out. If you
have any questions, or this sounds confusing, email me and I'll do my best to
explain it. Hope this helps.
