Introduction to Quiz League
Quiz League is a fun, interactive event where students compete in teams through rounds of knowledge and general information, in an atmosphere that mixes learning, enjoyment and team spirit.
Students are divided into teams of 5 to 6 players, so at least ten teams compete over two hours. The event has ten rounds: two oral rounds that sharpen listening and analytical thinking, and eight written rounds with direct answers, multiple choice, pictures, audio, video and tables. Team members solve them together to collect as many points as possible.
Topics are chosen to suit every age group: history, geography, science and technology, astronomy, sport, mental skills (maths and physics), arts, languages and general knowledge. Each round has 8 questions and no more than four minutes to answer. After every round we correct the answers and show the scores on the screen, one point for each correct answer. At the end we crown the team with the highest score out of 70 points.

Why schools choose it
Benefits of participation
Taking part in the Quiz builds students' knowledge, strengthens cooperation and the sharing of opinions and ideas, and brings out their leadership.
The event creates an atmosphere full of positive energy: competitive, cultural and entertaining at the same time.
Best of all, students discover the value of what they learned at school, from books and from technology, and show it proudly in front of their classmates and teachers, far from the pressure of tests and entrance exams for gifted programmes.
Social interaction
The event enriches the student's social life and can be a bridge to new friendships. Students get to know each other's personalities and work together for one goal, which builds mutual respect, discussion and constructive dialogue. It also lets the school bring students who feel isolated, or who face behavioural challenges, into one team with their classmates, which develops cooperation, builds friendships and improves behaviour.
Academic performance
Many studies, the best known published by Encyclopaedia Britannica, indicate that students who take part in Quiz competitions often achieve better academic results than their peers. The drive to excel and the spirit of competition motivate students to study seriously, look for information and understand topics in greater depth, to keep their image and standing among their classmates.
Teacher involvement
Teachers play a central role in a student's life. They are the source of motivation and safety, and one sign or one word of encouragement during the event is enough to give a student confidence.
Teachers also help us organise the event and place students in teams, because they know them best, and they keep them motivated throughout. Many times our Quizzes included questions a teacher had already explained in class, which increased the students' love and trust for their teacher, and we saw pride and mutual respect between students and teachers.
Schools league
Our highest goal is to take the Quiz from inside the school to the level of the city. After the internal competitions, the winning team from every school and every age group joins a league with as many of the city's schools as possible. At the end of every year one school is crowned city champion: every student in the team receives a personal gift and the school receives the championship shield.
The league is divided by age group, so each group competes with its peers. Two consecutive age groups can also be combined in one competition.
About the event
- All the event needs is a hall. We provide all the equipment: computers, microphone, speakers, screen, projector, pens, papers and prizes.
- The event is for students from 5th grade up to Bagrut, and also for teachers and parents.
- We have run more than 150 Quizzes in schools over the last two years, as well as at the Centre for Gifted Students, and the success went beyond expectations.
Lasting impact
In conclusion, Quiz League enriches students' learning experience and contributes to their overall growth. It develops analytical and critical thinking, sharpens social skills, pushes academic achievement forward and plants a love of fair competition and success, leaving a lasting impact on both the student and the school.
