What do teachers think about Trivia Challenge?

Feedback from previous years has described Trivia Challenge as very teacher friendly, enjoyable and easy to run. Here are some quotes from teachers whose classes have taken part in Trivia Challenge:

"Trivia has proven to be a real winner… providing a much needed boost for a seriously neglected area in modern primary schooling, that of developing and encouraging the pursuit of general knowledge."

"I cannot think of a better program available for children today."

"Ever since we took part in Trivia Challenge, the children have insisted we hold a quiz following every topic we do … It really is very valuable educationally."

“Following Trivia Challenge, two students witnessed a person having a seizure in public and were able to advise the adults what to do.”

“The co-operative learning aspect of it is just wonderful. They (the students) worked together really well, and learned so much from each other.”
