Every so often I hear the game Jeopardy being mentioned as a useful game to play. Maybe there's an explanation of what it is tucked away in one of the threads but I can't find it😕 Can someone explain, as I've never come across the game?
Thanks!

This game is based on game show Jeopardy. Students write down some questions and answers to questions about themselves. After writing down the answers, students have to form pairs or small groups and try to find out what the questions are or what the answers are.
Example: (answer = purple) "What is your favorite colour?" "Blue." "What colour do you hate?" "Green." "What colour is your underwear?" "Purple!" You can stop at three guesses if you want, or keep going until one can guess the question.
And there are some detailed explanations that I could find on the net. Here you are..

Thank you - it sounds a great way of practising questions. I'll try it soon.
There's a pretty good explanation of how to play and some sample questions here:
