Oceans of Fun Trivia

Ages: Multigenerational

Give patrons a chance to learn and share how much they know about the ocean! For a virtual program, use Zoom (or any other live instruction format) and the virtual quiz platform, Kahoot! (Or any other sequential presentation software). A Jeopardy-style game would also work well, especially for libraries whose patrons don’t all have access to their own devices. This makes a fun family program. See Pintables for quizzes for all age groups. Suggested runtime: 30 min.

Outcomes:

Materials:

Before the program, use the online quiz platform Kahoot, PowerPoint, or Google Slides to create a trivia contest. Tailor your contest to the topics that are most interesting to your teens, such as ocean animals, pirates, climate change, movie trivia, etc. See Resources for quizzes.

To run:

  1. Explain the procedure and rules to your participants. For example,“We’re going to be using the Kahoot! website on your phones/tablets/computers. Go to www.kahoot.it and enter the game pin. Answer the questions as quickly as you can to earn more points!”
  2. Offer prizes to the individual or teams that score the most points for guessing correct answers
