Pronouns Jeopardy PPT Games: 8 Free Games for English Class

What are these pronouns Jeopardy PPT games?

This set has 8 free PowerPoint games, one for each pronoun lesson. Every game opens on a colourful Jeopardy-style board with 5 categories and 5 questions in each category, worth from 100 to 500 points. Students choose a category and a points value, answer the question and win the points. These are classroom games inspired by the quiz-show format.

The 8 pronoun games in this set

• Subject pronouns: I, you, he, she, it, we, they
• Object pronouns: me, you, him, her, it, us, them
• Possessive pronouns: mine, yours, his, hers, ours, theirs
• Possessive adjectives: my, your, his, her, its, our, their
• Demonstrative pronouns: this, that, these, those
• Reflexive pronouns: myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves
• Relative pronouns: who, whom, whose, which, that
• Indefinite pronouns: for example someone, anybody, nothing, everyone

Why revise pronouns with a Jeopardy game?

Pronouns are small words, so students often get them wrong without noticing. A game board gives them many short, varied questions, from filling a gap to fixing an error, and the points and the competition keep the whole class paying attention. Because the questions get harder from 100 to 500 points, there is something for weaker and stronger students in every team.

How to play in a large class (40+ students)

No materials are needed. Only the teacher’s computer and projector, and a place on the board to keep the score.

1. Make teams. Each row of desks is a team.
2. Choose a tile. The first team picks a category and a points value.
3. Answer the question. The team has a short time to agree on an answer, and the speaker says it.
4. Score. A correct answer wins the points on the tile. If the answer is wrong, another team can steal the points.
5. Rotate speakers and the choice of tile, so every student and every team gets a turn.

How to use the PPT files

Download the game you need, open it in Microsoft PowerPoint and start the Slide Show (press F5) so the board and its buttons work. Each game has its own lesson on the first slide, so there is nothing to set up.
