Years ago, we used a Jeopardy template made in PowerPoint and it worked with SmartBoards. It still works fine if you are just projecting it, but seems like it’s come to the end of its life with the new Mac systems and SmartBoards.
Now, there is a new way to play Jeopardy, Hangman, Memory games and even a Tournament Bracket activity using Google Spreadsheets and Flippity (http://flippity.net/)
Flippity offers a whole bunch of templates for creating flashcards, Random Name Selectors, Jeopardy games, and more in Google Sheets.
