Battle of the Books
On December 10, 2024 elementary school students in grades 3-6 will participate in multiple team competitions. It's an exciting day to celebrate reading in a fun environment filled with exciting competitions and team challenges! Each competition includes up to five students working together to answer questions based on a selected 20-book list.
Friendly Family Feud: Two teams will compete against each other and answer questions taking turns. If one team cannot answer the question or bonus question, the opposing team has a chance to steal.
Relay Race: The first student on a team will run to a proctor who will ask him/her a question. The student can answer the question, or run back to his/her team to collaborate, then run back to answer the question. Once finished, the next team member will run up to answer the next question. Play will continue until one team has attempted to answer all 24 questions.
Super Challenge: Each team will have a buzzer. The questioneer will ask all teams the same question and the team to buzz in first will answer the question. If they get it wrong, another team has a chance to buzz in to answer. Students must be careful, because a wrong answer subtracts points from the score.
After all competitions are scored, a Grand Challenge competition will be held between the top two teams in each grade-level. The winner of the Grand Challenge will be named champion. An awards ceremony will be held immediately following the Grand Challenge.
