CCW Crime Jeopardy

During the Spring 2004 semester, CCW piloted the CCW Crime Jeopardy Game for residence hall floor meetings. The CCW Jeopardy game is modeled after the Jeopardy Game Show, and consists of questions pertaining to safety, crime prevention, and services available on campus. This game will be used for RA floor meetings during the Fall 2004 semester.

Creating the game board was a simple and inexpensive project. Questions were taken from the presentation material used for new student orientation. CCW members hosted 2 games this spring in the residence halls. RAs in the halls hold floor meetings each week, and 2 asked CCW to play their game at theirs. Turnout was low (6-8 each group, all males), but feedback was great. All students stated they enjoyed playing the game, and it was a fun way to learn about safety and services available. It was apparent for some of the questions that the students were reading the safety stickers in the bathroom stalls, they stated this was how they knew some of the answers.
