What should you use for a Jeopardy board with questions about a book?
You should start your Jeopardy Board with a decision on the different categories that you will be using. You said it was a book and not a group of books or a category or series of books. It will be hard to find many categories with 5 questions in each category about a book, when you will need 6 categories for each round. You might start with a Wikipedia search on the book title. You can pick some of the characters in the book that you can also find 5 questions to ask and make them categories for your Jeopardy board. You might ask questions about the author in another category. Locations and events in the book can also be used as categories. Jeopardy uses facts to ask a question that lead to the answer.
