Is There Any Real Use For A Fun Quiz?

Written by Brian Fong


Q. I don't like my children spending so much time onrepparttar computer and playing video games. Can you help me find or develop a fun quiz to stimulate their thinking?

A. A fun quiz is an excellent way to keep kids occupied especially duringrepparttar 110168 vacation months when learning takes a hiatus.

The key to designing a fun quiz is to keeprepparttar 110169 subjects relevant to things that interest your children while managing to stretchrepparttar 110170 limits of their knowledge.

A fun quiz does not have to be so easy that it's seen as a joke, nor does it have to be boring. Here's an example:

Let's say that one of your children enjoys playing with American Girl dolls and her favorite is Kirsten. Now, we all know that Kirsten moved torepparttar 110171 United States from Sweden when she was a little girl, right?

Instead of asking a fun quiz question like "Where did Kirsten live before moving torepparttar 110172 United States?", which any devoted Kirsten fan knowsrepparttar 110173 answer to already, you could ask: "What colors are onrepparttar 110174 Flag of Sweden, where Kirsten used to live?". This servesrepparttar 110175 purpose of bringing subjects intorepparttar 110176 fun quiz that your children are interested in, yet it stretchesrepparttar 110177 limits of their knowledge and forces them to learn while having fun!

Sneaky parents, aren't we?

And what is interesting is that even though distance or years may separate you, you never forget their presence orrepparttar memories you shared together. I've met a lot of people throughout my life, many associates, but true friendships and relationships were always a rarity. The older I become,repparttar 110167 more I appreciate and reflect onrepparttar 110168 impact those relationships had on my life at particular times.
