17 - Multi-choice game quiz

Another very popular favourite.

The aim of the game is for the children individually to collect as many tokens as they can within the game time. Tokens are given out for each correct multi-choice selection. Each child starts with an empty cup for token collection. Answer boards A,B,C,D located around the hall are manned by leaders with tokens.

The questions are in the main of a nature whereby the children will need to guess some of the answers. This all adds to the fun and makes the game unpredictable and quite diverse, as the kids chance their ‘luck’ on what might be the right answer. One or two easier questions are included to which most children will know the answers.

A leader reads out a question and gives four multi-choice answers A,B,C,D. The children select the answer they believe to be correct and move to the letter corresponding with that answer. Once the children have made their initial choice they are given 5 seconds to change their mind and move to another letter board should they so wish. The leader then calls time, after which the children must stay at their finally selected letter whilst the correct answer is given. The children at the letter corresponding to the correct answer gain a token.

The scoring may be individual or collectively as a team or both. Team scoring is good whereby the children are grouped into teams and pool their tokens collected at the end of the game to give a whole team tally.

Around 10 multi-choice questions usually makes for a suitable game time.

Plenty of open space is required allowing the children to move around the hall freely and safely between station boards.
