Earth Day Trivia Game Offers Fun Educational Activity for Students of All Ages
Baltimore, MD (PRWEB) April 17, 2014 -- Educators at Connections Academy are offering families a fun, online Earth Day-themed trivia game that recognizes and helps build enthusiasm for Earth Day on April 22, 2014—an annual event to demonstrate support for environmental protection and raise awareness about issues impacting the Earth. Students of all ages—and their parents—can play the Connections Academy Quiz Bowl Trivia Challenge: Earth Day Edition and then challenge their friends.
The new Trivia Challenge is available to the public and is inspired by Connections Academy’s year-long Quiz Bowl Challenge—a popular activity designed to educate and recognize Connections Academy students during the school year and one of the many clubs and activities students at the virtual school enjoy. In addition to participating in the newest Earth Day Quiz Bowl Trivia Challenge, Connections Academy-supported schools across the nation will be participating in Earth Day events, activities and lessons to help educate students and raise awareness about the environment.
Featuring twenty trivia questions of varying degrees of difficulty, the Quiz Bowl Challenge promotes lively and educational discussion between parents, students, and friends of all ages. The Quiz also serves as a resource and discussion-starter for teachers looking to incorporate Earth Day in lessons. Students and their families can “play” online, or download a printable version for use in the car, at parties, or over dinner, by visiting http://www.ConnectionsAcademy.com/Quizbowl.
