Presidents Day Trivia Game

RECOMMENDED FOR:

• Grades 7-11
• School libraries, US History classes
• Want to use it with younger students? I think this game will work well with Grades 4-6, but I have not personally used it that young. The entire game is multiple choice, and it requires no prior knowledge of the presidents. The game is fun, and I think younger students will enjoy it, too!

NEEDED TO OPEN AND PLAY THE GAME:

• PowerPoint
• PDF reader (needed for directions only)
• Some way to keep score (whiteboard or paper/pencil work fine)

PREP AND INSTRUCTION:

• This game requires ZERO PREP. You can pull it up on your computer, and it is all ready to go!
• Students do not need any prior knowledge of the questions. All of the questions are multiple choice, so they can always take a guess. Many answers are logical–you can talk students through figuring them out if they are stuck.
• Every answer slide includes additional information about the answer. This game is instructional, and students are guaranteed to learn lots of new fun facts!

ABOUT THE GAME:

• Includes 25 multiple choice questions
• Written by a school librarian for use in the library or classroom
• When you click on the dollar amounts on the game board, they disappear when you return to the board. This ensures students do not pick a question that has already been asked.
• All text and headers are editable in PowerPoint.
