Classroom Jeopardy!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The NCEA, in conjunction with Pflaum Publishing Group, has released two game modules for the Classroom Jeopardy System<\/a> that are designed to help students prepare for the ACRE, the Assessment of Catechesis\/Religions Education<\/a>. The ACRE is a faith assessment tool used by many schools across the United States to strengthen their catechetical programs. These new game modules are intended to “promote internalizing faith facts.”<\/p>\n

The modules themselves are not expensive–about $30 each. One cartridge is for Grade 5, the other is for Grades 8-9. However, to use the cartridges, a school must purchase the Classroom Jeopardy System<\/a>, which was selling for $419 on Amazon.com as of this writing. The system includes wireless player remotes, a scoreboard, and hardware for using the cartridges.<\/p>\n

If the Jeopardy system is beyond your school’s budget, you might have your students try Pflaum’s online Catholic Jeopardy<\/a>. The questions are generally well written, and probably most appropriate for students in grades 3-8.<\/p>\n

One question bothered me, though: “People often hold hands during this prayer, signifying their unity as Children of God.” The answer is The Lord’s Prayer, but since this isn’t an official part of the liturgical rubrics, I don’t think it belongs in a Catholic assessment tool. Not a major point, I admit, but a minor irritation.<\/p>\n
