Health and Wellness Jeopardy

This Health & Wellness Jeopardy game has done all the hard work for you!  Included in the automatic powerpoint presentation are 30 health and wellness questions along with the bells and whistles including sound effects, Double Jeopardy with double points, and even ‘FABS Surprises!’ which consist of physical activity components to add a level of movement to the game. FABS is a component borrowed from HealthMatters that stands for Flexibility-Aerobics-Balance- Strength and demonstrates all the components of physical fitness.  You can use this as another educational moment to discuss physical activity or talk about participants being active to feel ‘fabulous’!

  • Have all participants engage in the physical activity or just the team that selected that question
  • Offer the points to all teams and participants for completing the physical activity or offer no points at all or just offer points to the team that did the activity
