While platforms such as Quizlet or Albert are often used to review AP class material, students in teacher Josh Hart’s AP US History class encounter a slightly different kind of review: Jeopardy.

Through multiple categories spanning from “Paintings” to “APUSH Stuff I Guess,” the activity serves as a fun and engaging way for students to not only bond with one another, but also review important class material.

“Jeopardy has to be one of my favorite class activities I’ve done over the years. From an enjoyment standpoint, it might be one of the most beloved things in APUSH from a student perspective. It’s a whopping success with any class I’ve ever played it with,” Hart said.

One unique feature of APUSH is that students participate in group testing, working in groups of 3-5 on assessments such as tests, quizzes and projects. In the same way, students compete in Jeopardy rounds with the members of their table.

“Playing Jeopardy was a really fun way to collaborate with the people at my table and review material,” Junior Katie Nguyen said. “It was both competitive and entertaining.”

In addition to the competition among classmates, former students are asked to participate—that is, as scorekeepers. Senior Lincoln Madden, one of Hart’s former APUSH students, called the Jeopardy review one of the most fun and interactive things he has done in high school.

”It was probably my favorite thing about the class, and I wanted to come back and help him run the game,” Madden said.

With support from current and former students, the game continues to be a popular way to review.
