In this break time activity, youth who stutter will team up for a game of Jeopardy!. Through team building and friendly competition, this workshop will open up lines of communication and foster positive relationships between youth who stutter. Youth will leave with new connections, fun trivia facts, and a newfound sense of community. And, of course, prizes!
