Health Jeopardy was developed by members of the School Nurse Organization of Minnesota to present information about health and to market the role of the school nurse. Although it was created for the Minnesota State Fair, it has been used in a variety of community settings. This interactive and fun game has been popular with both children and adults. Contestants were selected from the state fair audience, and each competed for prizes by answering questions about school health under the five categories of first aid and safety, nutrition, immunizations, communicable diseases, and school nurse facts. In addition to the state fair, Minnesota school nurses have used this game as both an informational and promotional tool in their school and community fairs.

Key Words: health fair • Health Jeopardy • marketing
