After I found this template, I quickly realized that it is more complex than it seems. I was happy to realize that it is fairly straightforward to use and I can imagine it being used for a variety of subjects as a fun way of assessing a class's understanding of content. However, it does become quite tedious creating all of the questions or clues for each square. This requires a thorough knowledge of the subject in order to create all of them in timely manner. Also, it is also somewhat challenging to create questions which match each point value within a category.
It reminded me of the many times I remember playing versions of Jeopardy! in class as a student and how exciting it was to be quizzed or review a topic in a way that was competitive and fun. As a teacher implementing this game, classroom management will be a concern which will have to be addressed prior to the game, but overall I think it can be a great tool to break up a typical class review or assessment.
