Subject: General Knowledge quiz for your use
(It's very early in the a.m. so if there are typos, my apologies!NO time for
spell check; off to work in an hour, G-d willing)
Before Purim at our Ulpana, you can't really do any serious teaching. So, I
made up a general knowledge quiz, (checked google for accurate answers) for
as we all know, not only is such knowledge a must for living in our world,
but it can also help on the bagrut exams.
I put the questions on index cards and divided the class into 2 groups. Each
side, I go according to the seating and ask the girl whose turn it is a
question, randomly chosen. (there are 4 answers to choose from, otherwise
the answers are hilarious!!! ) If she chooses correctly, she gets 2 points.
If she's wrong, the question goes to someone on the opposing team for one
point. Of course, I add on a lot of additional general knowledge along the
way. (I was on my high school's quiz bowl team and love general knowledge.)
I don't know how to do this with an attachment to the list, so am copying
and pasting so you can use it before Purim. (I guess you can copy and paste
to "Word," and fix up the text however you choose. ) Enjoy!
Have a lovely Purim and may we have no more upset, only joy!
