We celebrate our first year in Zoom. Join us for a ukulele jeopardy game at our Three Chord Thursday session on April 1st, 2021 at 3 pm ET. It’s no joke but we will sing silly and fun songs as well as form teams to play a jeopardy game in which your team responds by demonstrating (playing or singing or both). While we’re waiting for the team to respond, someone in the team will play the jeopardy jingle, whether plucked, strummed & hummed, with kazoo, or any other instrument for the jingle keeps time. We had our first jeopardy game on the 24th December 2020.
Note: You do not HAVE to play the ukulele jeopardy game. You can be an impartial, muted observer.
We always start promptly at 3 pm with a warm-up, followed by our sunglasses ritual. We record and edit our song sessions to review, learn, remember, and share with the community. Join our new public Facebook Group to get the latest and greatest, including ukulele jeopardy questions to practise for this day.
DON’T FORGET YOUR SUNGLASSES!
Let’s wear our favorite ukulele T-shirt!

Form Teams
We then break out into breakout rooms, randomly assigned, to get to know each other to do the following:
- Choose a team name (short and sweet, easy to pronounce and remember)
- Identify individual strength: read & play from tab, know chords, know tunes, music theory, three chord songs, etc.
- Who can play the jeopardy theme tune — pluck it, chord melody, kazoo or hum to strumming the chords
- Choose a team leader (spokesperson, decision maker)
- How to contact each other quickly
