Elementary Quiz Bowl

Welcome to quiz bowl, a spirited interscholastic contest pitting two teams head to head to answer questions from all disciplines, including history, geography, philosophy, literature, science, fine arts, current events and popular culture. Quiz bowl tournaments are not only an athletics-style team competition for the mind, they also promote a rich environment of broad-based learning that students carry with them for a lifetime.
I have really enjoyed coaching the 5th and 6th grade quiz bowl this year. These students dedicate their time to deepening their knowledge. Quiz bowl tournaments blend individual competition and teamwork, as no single player is likely to be an expert in all subject areas. During a game, players press a buzzer when they have an answer to a question, earning points for correct responses along with an opportunity to answer a bonus question in collaboration with their teammates. If a quick-witted player knows the answer after merely hearing a few words, they can buzz in before the question is even completed.
The 5th-6th grade teams competed in 2 quiz bowl meets this year. One in Freeman on February 4th and another at for ESU 5 schools on February 12th. The Griffins had a great season.
Participants were: Clara, Aidan, Kelsey, Jacob, Cale, Kailyn, Carly, Carter, Peyton, Peyton, Jack, Sidney, and Kaden
