I'm making a Jeopardy type game for some middle school aged kids. They pick from questions at various levels of difficulty and try to answer correctly.
I'm having some trouble coming up with topics and questions that would be not too hard and not too easy for midle school students. What kind of things are they interested in?
Can anyone help me out with topics and questions that would work?

[crazylemongirl]

Korean Movies
Foreign Movies
Korean Presidents
Famous Koreans
What's that country?
Sports
Singers
Where can you buy...?
Famous Foreigners
Random (My 500 pointer for that is they have to sing a song in english)
What's the missing word?
It's all about CLG (that's answering questions about clg teacher)

Instead of deducting points, if a team gets a question right, they get to pick the next team's next question. I have one category called 'I Love Grammar'. Guess which category they usually pick for the next team?

There is a book that I used last year called

"English Quiz Master" or something like that.

It is full of useful questions to ask Korean students.

A lot of the questions are related to Korean history, art or culture, things I really don't know that much about. There are also questions that come from western culture but are common enough for Koreans to have heard of them and have some idea about them.

It's in with the popular English self-study books, soft cover, spring type binding, small, dark blue border with orange in the center.

I think the above ideas are good as well, it's just good to have extra questions a few months down the road when you want to keep the game
from getting stale.

I've also used questions related to these topics:

Capital cities, Presidents and Primeministers, geography (mostly Korean)
animals,spelling, name that tune (I hum a tune and they have to name it)
etc.

Seems like they are interested in everything except things that happen outside Korea, things that adults do, things that involve the opposite sex, and things that aren't computer games or comic books.

FOOD - (ingredients, names)
NUMBERS - (how many 0's in 1 million, how many days in the year)
CAPITAL CITIES

Information from the books that they have been studying in class.

Apart from what's already been mentioned, I like:

Symbols (draw them on a board or print on a piece of paper ex: $, &, # other money symbols, Nike swoosh etc)

Planets

FAmous Rivers i.e name a rive that starts with A, M, T, etc

Elements (double jeopardy round, if they have started studying the periodic table)

Things around the house i.e name something in the living room that starts with C

Internal body parts (or external depending on how low their level is)
