Description
Trivia is fun and interactive for both teachers and students, but it also allows for a more hands-on and social approach to learning. Create a list of easy-to-understand questions that the student may know the answer to. Questions can be from their school subjects, general awareness, current affairs, politics, music, or any other topic that your students are familiar with.
Procedure on how to put in practice
Form four groups of two.
The game begins with the host or moderator asking the first team a question.
If players in the team answer the question correctly, they score a point, and the next team gets to answer a new question.
But if the team fails to answer the question, it passes on to the other team. The team that answers the question gets the point.
You can have as many questions as you want.
