Everyone loves a good Jeopardy review game! And, I've seen them come in all forms....from overhead projector transparencies, to poster board, to game consoles, to SMART Notebook templates, and beyond. Here is another to add to your repertoire!
Jeopardy Labs is an online resource for creating your very own Jeopardy templates. It's very easy to type in your own answers and questions in the editor. The site even allows you to save your template with a password so you can come back to edit it at another time. You do not need to create an account to use the site, since each game created gets it's own URL address. However, creating an account is a possibility for (what I am assuming is) a one-time price of at least $20.00. An account allows you to see a list of all your created templates, control privacy settings on your templates, and delete templates.
Once you've finished creating your template, you can play the game with up to 12 teams, and even keep track of the score and used Answer clues right in your web browser.....or download it and play it from a Flash player on your computer, no Internet needed!
If you're not in the mood to create your own Jeopardy game, you can browse for games created by others and use them as-is or tweak them to fit your needs.

Free Rice...Trivia Fighting Starvation
Here is a site that is doubly beneficial. Free Rice is a site that allows students to practice questions from many areas such as English vocabulary, pre-algebra, multiplication tables, art history, chemistry symbols, geography, and foreign language. Users are presented with one question at a time, and for each correct answer, 10 grains of rice are promised to be delivered to hungry people around the world. How could you go wrong? Your students get to practice their skills in the provided areas all while helping to make a charitable donation! Get donating today!
