Review Game Board (Jeopardy-Style)
Blank category-and-points board.
This blank Jeopardy-style review board gives teachers a fully editable category-and-points grid to build quiz-show review sessions for any subject. The template lays out five category columns and five point-value rows (e.g. 100 through 500), with each cell blank so the teacher writes in questions or clues that fit exactly what students have been studying. No subscription, no digital licence — just print, fill, and run. Teachers write category titles across the top and questions behind each value card. During play, teams choose a category and point value, the teacher reads the clue, and teams answer. The format naturally differentiates: lower-point cells hold simpler recall questions while higher-point cells push for analysis or application. Laminate the grid and cover cells with sticky notes for a reusable game board that works year after year.
Learning objectives
- Review unit content in an engaging, competitive format
- Differentiate question difficulty by point value
- Promote team collaboration and discussion under time pressure
- Identify knowledge gaps by tracking which questions teams miss
- Encourage strategic thinking as teams choose question value
How to use this template
- Download and print the blank game board on A3/Tabloid or tile across two A4/Letter sheets for classroom visibility.
- Write category names across the top row (e.g. 'Fractions', 'Word Problems', 'Geometry', 'Vocabulary', 'Wild Card').
- Write one question or clue per cell, increasing difficulty with each point tier.
- Cover each cell with a sticky note or folded paper flap showing only the point value until chosen.
- Divide students into teams, track scores on a whiteboard, and reveal cells as teams select them.
Classroom & home ideas
- End-of-unit science review: categories match each chapter section; 500-point questions require multi-step explanations.
- Grammar championship: categories cover parts of speech, punctuation, sentence types, figurative language, and editing.
- History timeline challenge: each column covers a different era; students must name the correct decade or event.
- Maths revision: mix computation, word problems, geometry vocabulary, measurement, and mental maths columns.
- Cross-subject 'School Trivia': categories span different subjects to celebrate end-of-term learning across the curriculum.

Frequently asked questions
How many categories and point values should I use?
Five categories with 100–500 point tiers is the classic setup. For shorter sessions or younger students, reduce to four categories and three tiers (100, 200, 300) to keep the game under 20 minutes.
How do I run this without a digital projector?
Print the grid large, laminate it, and use sticky notes as covers. Stick it on the board with magnets. When a cell is chosen, peel the note and read the question from your answer key.
Can students create the questions themselves?
Yes, and it deepens learning. Split the class into groups, assign each a category, and have them write questions for every point level. Teacher reviews before game day.
What happens when two teams answer simultaneously?
Use a simple 'hand-up first' rule or a soft chime for buzzers. Assign a neutral student judge to call the first responder each round.
