When I walked into class this morning I didn’t know I would
have so much fun. Actually, today may have been the most fun I have had in my
college education to date. Playing the jeopardy game this week was a good
experience for me. It was both educational and fun. My competitive nature made
me search hard and efficiently for questions. I believe everyone had fun
playing the game, the sound of pages flipping and people running up to put
answers on the board had everyone on the edge of their seats. I enjoyed conversing with my fellow team mates
as we tried to pick the right answers. I was happy that I actually built my own
game because it familiarized me with some of the questions. Granted, the
purpose of the game was to prepare us for the midterm exam, but winning was
everyone’s main objective. “You play to win the game!” (Herm Edwards), and
everyone did just that. Some won big, others didn’t at all, but at the end of
the day everyone was more knowledgeable about the definitions. I know I was!
The stakes were high also! Of course some played it safe, while others betted
big. As for me, I went all in and I have bonus points on my midterm exam to
prove it! Today’s experience reminded of me of kindergarten where we would play
games to learn shapes and arithmetic. Who knew that years later I would be
doing the same the same thing in higher education? Today’s endeavor was proof
that learning can be fun even in college! I am actually kind of happy, my professor, Mr.
Pinto came up with this idea to prepare us. Needless to say, the game fulfilled
its purpose. I have no doubt that I will be ready for the midterm.
