I. Create the game board of Jeopardy in PowerPoint.
Step 1: Firstly, you might want to decorate your background. You can add a pictures (Insert => Picture) or use from the textures available (Right-click => Format Background).
Step 2: Secondly, you will need a table. You can insert the table directly by going Insert => Tables. The other way is that you create lots of rectangle shapes and place them in the order of the table.
I will give you the example for both ways below, so choose the decoration style you like best.
Step 3: Let’s fill into the tables. Double-click at each shape and type. The top round will be the name of the topic, and the rest are scores for each questions.
II. Create the PowerPoint question slides and insert animations.
Step 1: Design your slides and write questions, don’t write the answers A, B, and C yet. You can refer to the picture below, then we will add animation to the answers.
Step 2: Go to Insert => Shapes. Place the shapes before the answer. Write in the shape A, B, C and D.
Step 3: Now you do as follow:
(1) Select the correct answer shape and (2) go to Animations. Select Fill Color (Emphasis).
(3) In Effect Options, the correct answer will be filled with green, so here select green.
(4) In Duration, it’s better to set at 0.5s.
(5) Finally, in Trigger => On click of => Oval 17 (The oval shape of the correct answer)
Step 4: For the wrong answers, they will be filled with red.
(1) Select the wrong answer shape.
(2) Go to Animations => Fill Color (Emphasis)
(3) Effect Options => select Red
(4) Duration: 0.5s
(5) Trigger => On click of => select the name of the wrong answer shape.
Step 5: For the wrong answers, you can start those steps above from the begining. But to save time, (1) select the correct answer shape => (2) Animation Painter => (3) select the rest of the shapes in order. That way the animation and setting will transfer to the other shapes, you don’t need to edit anything.
Now to see how it looks.
III. Link the Jeopardy board game with the question slides.

Keep doing the same for the rest.
