How to Make a Jeopardy Game With Poster Board

Design a grid on your poster board. Use your markers to divide your board into a grid that has five columns across and six rows down. Each grid cell should be big enough to fit two money amounts in each. Make your top rows’ outlines a tad larger and more prominent to accommodate the sheets of paper that will have the categories written on them.

Fill in the grid. Leave the top row of squares blank and fill in the other rows with money amounts. The first row should have $100/$200 across the entire row, the second row should have $200/$400, and so on until you reach $500/$1,000. If you put two money amounts in each square, this same board can be used for both single and double Jeopardy.

Glue binder clips to the board. Use a quality craft glue to attach small binder clips to the top of the blank squares across the top row. This is where you will attach the pieces of paper with the categories written on them.

Create your categories. Use as many sheets of paper as you need to create as many categories as you like. Write one category on each sheet, using a bold marker.

Prop up and play. Prop or fasten your game board against a wall or easel. Attach your category sheets to the binder clips and let the game begin.
