G5-6: Trivia Carnival

December 28, 2018

Who doesn’t like to do fun classroom activities? The fifth and sixth grade students at SHSID were able to play various games at the Trivia Carnival during CAS time this past Thursday.

For most of the students, it was their first time taking part in the event. When the bells rang, students rushed to different classrooms for the fun games, including musical chairs, speed stacks, tongue twisters, and more! Some events were so popular that there were many enthusiastic participants. One of the students’ favorite games was the paper airplane station, which involved making a well-balanced plane out of A4 paper. If the students’ planes successfully flew to the appointed area five meters away, they won the game. To accomplish this goal, many participants were resilient and changed their model multiple times. Overall, it was a good opportunity to apply what they learned in Math class and think both critically and creatively.

At first glance, some games seemed easier than others, and students were often surprised at how much focus was needed for each task. When playing musical chairs, students were eliminated from the game if they lost concentration for even one second. To reward students for their hard work, all the winners received prizes for their efforts and achievements.

The overarching purpose of the Trivia Carnival is to provide an opportunity for students to compete in a fun atmosphere that both motivates and energizes them. Not only are the games engaging, interactive, and social, but they're also great tools for learning and growing both inside and outside of the classroom. We already can’t wait to see what’s in store for next year!
