How to play it in class

Step 1

Project the board

Open it on the classroom screen. Five categories, five point values — the same shape every student already understands.

Step 2

Split the room

Two to four teams. No logins, no devices, no codes to type: students raise a hand, you tap the team that answered.

Step 3

Score and move on

Mark it right, wrong, or passed to the next team. The scoreboard is automatic, so the argument about the score never starts.

Where this board fits

Best used the period before a quiz, or as a five-minute warm-up when the room is half asleep. Because the whole board is visible, you can skip the categories the class already knows and spend the time on the two that always go wrong. If you want a different topic, type it on the Jeopardy maker — the first board needs no account — or browse classroom review games by subject and the template guide.

Questions teachers ask

Is this World War 2 Review free?

Yes. The board is already written — all 25 questions — and playing it costs nothing, on any plan including no account.

Do students need devices?

No. Project the board and play with hands up: you tap the team that answered. If students do have phones, they can join with the room code and buzz instead.

Can I change the questions?

Every clue and answer is editable once the game is on your screen, so you can swap in the vocabulary your class actually used.
