I was recently contacted by Craig Lessard, a parent from Panther Run Elementary School in Florida who has not only contributed four new quizzes aimed at the 5th Grade, but in producing those quizzes, he also constructed something I never really thought of.
Microsoft Excel is a great tool that can be used for all kinds of things. Craig realised it could be a great way of compiling Quiz Boxes quizzes. This neat single page printout can either be used as a paper template, or you can type straight into it in Excel. Then it’s a pretty easy job to Copy/Paste into the Quiz Boxes Question Editor.
And of course, like everything else at this site, it’s free and customizable! Thanks Craig!
Download the Excel Template for Jeopardy (requires MS Excel 2000 or later).
I think the excel spreadsheet is a great idea…however, I found it to be a little bit confusing to complete. How do you use it for double-jeopardy? (the second round?)
I think I solved my own problem! Was a little confused with something. Got it now!
Great program and the spreadsheet is a great idea too!

IS THERE ANY SHORTCUTS FOR THIS SOFTWARE, SO I DONT HAVE TO USE THE MOUSE. I dont want the mouse pointer to show up during the game.
Also, is any way I can export this spreadsheet direct to the quizbuilder, or import from there?
Thank you
Ronaldo
Hi Ronaldo.
No, a mouse (or some other pointing device like a tablet or an IWB) is required. On your second question, use Notepad to open one of the quiz files the game uses. You’ll then see exactly how a quiz file is formatted. It’s very straightforward.
