Christmas Jeopardy

Get ready for festive fun with Christmas Jeopardy, a holiday quiz where teams buzz in to test their Christmas knowledge and earn points to become the holiday champions!

How To Play

• Create your quiz board on a whiteboard by dividing it into categories and point values.
• Split players into two teams.
• Read the first question aloud. The first team to buzz in answers using “What is…?”
• A correct answer earns that team the points and control of the board.
• A wrong answer subtracts points and the other team can try.
• Keep score and cross off used questions as you go.
• Each team only gets one attempt to answer.
• If no one answers correctly after both teams have tried, reveal the answer and let the team who last had control choose again.
• The team with the most points at the end wins!
