Jeopardy Questions These are trivia questions that my classes really enjoy.

I use them with middle school students, but some questions are sometimes too hard and sometimes too easy. Usually five categories of questions takes up on 50 minute class. The kids absolutely love it and I have shared it with other PCVs as well.
