Each round contains 6 categories with 5 questions each, for a total of 30 questions per round. Round 1 uses values from $100 to $500 and Round 2 uses values from $200 to $1000, with difficulty increasing as the value rises. The Final Round contains a single question.
Optional: Use the Jeopardy format phrasing the question as a statement and phrasing the answer as a question. I.e. “This organelle converts sunlight into sugar” and “What is a chloroplast?” Category names are limited to 30 characters to ensure they display correctly on the board.
Add questions three ways: enter them individually under Add Questions, upload a completed CSV template, or use an AI assistant to complete the template.
Completing the CSV template
- Download the template spreadsheet.
- Replace the placeholder text. Do not modify the round or value columns.
- Export the file as a CSV and upload it.
Completing the template with an AI assistant
Give your AI service — Claude, Gemini, or a comparable tool — two files: the CSV template and your lesson materials for the unit. Worksheets, guided notes, slide decks, assigned readings, study guides, unit plans, vocabulary lists, previous quizzes, lab handouts, and standards documents all work.
Paste the following prompt and complete the bracketed fields:
I've attached my Jeopardyish template and my lesson materials. Write review questions drawn from my materials and give the filled template back to me as a CSV file I can download. MY CLASS Subject: [your subject] Grade level: [your grade] Unit or topic: [your unit] WHAT I'VE ATTACHED [List what you attached, for example: three worksheets, my slide deck, and the study guide. Delete the ones that don't apply.] WHAT STUDENTS NEED TO KNOW BY THE END [Paste your learning objectives, essential questions, or standards here. If you don't have them written out, list the 5 to 10 things students must walk away knowing.] WHAT I ALREADY ASSESSED OR SKIPPED [Optional. Note anything to leave out — a lesson you cut, a section you'll test separately, or a topic students already mastered. Write "nothing" if this doesn't apply.] BUILD THE QUESTIONS FROM MY MATERIALS - Pull every question from what I attached. Do not add outside content, and do not test anything my materials never covered. - Use my exact vocabulary and terminology. If my worksheet says "producer," do not write "autotroph." - Weight the board toward what my materials spend the most time on. If three worksheets cover photosynthesis and one covers soil, photosynthesis gets more questions. - Build categories around the actual sections, worksheets, or lessons in my materials rather than generic topic names. - If my materials don't contain enough content to fill all 61 questions, tell me which categories came up short before you write anything. WHAT TO CHANGE IN THE TEMPLATE - Replace every "Category 1" through "Category 6" with a real category name - Replace every "Question 1" through "Question 5" with a real question - Replace every "Answer 1" through "Answer 5" with the matching answer - Replace "Final Jeopardish Question", "Final Question", and "Final Answer" with a real Final Round category, question, and answer WHAT TO LEAVE ALONE - Keep the header line exactly as it is: round,category,value,question,answer - Do not change any number in the round column - Do not change any number in the value column - Do not add rows, remove rows, or reorder rows - Keep all 62 lines, including the header HOW TO WRITE THE QUESTIONS - Category names: 30 characters maximum, 22 or fewer is better - Round 1 and Round 2 need different categories from each other - Write the question column as a statement, the way a game show clue reads Example: This organelle converts sunlight into sugar. - Write the answer column as a question Example: What is a chloroplast? - Difficulty rises with the value: in each category the lowest value is recall straight from my materials, and the highest value asks students to apply or connect ideas - Round 2 should be harder than Round 1 throughout - Make the Final Round question the hardest one — it should require connecting two or more ideas from across the unit - Keep questions under 200 characters so they read clearly on a projector - Write at a reading level appropriate for [your grade] - Never repeat a question or reuse an answer - Wrap any question or answer containing a comma in double quotes BEFORE YOU GIVE ME THE FILE Confirm the file still has 62 lines, the round and value columns are untouched, and no placeholder text is left anywhere. Then list any question you were not able to source directly from my materials.
Review each question against your source materials before uploading. AI assistants produce fluent text but introduce factual errors.
If the file comes back wrong:
- Questions do not match the material taught — instruct the assistant to rewrite using only the attached materials and to name the source of each question.
- Incorrect terminology — instruct the assistant to use the exact vocabulary from your materials and provide two or three examples it got wrong.
- Fewer than 60 questions in the preview — instruct the assistant to return all 62 lines.
- Placeholder text appears on the board — instruct the assistant to replace every remaining “Question” and “Answer” placeholder.
- Round 2 cards appear empty — the assistant modified the value column. Instruct it to restore 200, 400, 600, 800, and 1000 for Round 2.
- Category names cut off — a name exceeds 30 characters. Request shorter names.
- The result arrives as text rather than a file — instruct the assistant to save the result as a downloadable CSV.
