Teachers use game for lessons on Canada

Nothing trivial about new game made available to schools

What Canadian singer was born Eilleen Regina Edwards?

What are residents of Moose Jaw called?

If youB次元官网网址檙e struggling with the answers, you might benefit from playing Canadian Trivia: Family Edition. ThatB次元官网网址檚 what a group of students at Oak Bay High will be doing in the near future as they take up an offer to try out the new board game, free of charge.

Tim Bradshaw, the head of the social studies department at Oak Bay High, sees the game as a valuable teaching tool.

B次元官网网址淚t looks quite interesting,B次元官网网址 Bradshaw said. B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 obviously fun to engage kids in a variety of teaching methods. WeB次元官网网址檙e going to give it a try.B次元官网网址

The Canadian Trivia game is being made available to schools, free, by Outset Media. The Victoria-based company recently announced that any teacher teaching grades 3 to 12 could borrow up to six units at a time for use in the classroom.

B次元官网网址淟ike many Canadians, I knew more about the United States than about Canada,B次元官网网址 said Dave Manga, the gameB次元官网网址檚 creator. He felt that he could make a difference and develop a way to make learning about Canada fun.

B次元官网网址淲e designed it to allow play by a pretty broad range of ages and skill levels,B次元官网网址 said Manga. B次元官网网址淭here are junior questions for younger players and more advanced questions for older youth and adults.B次元官网网址

Trent Campbell, a Grade 10 social studies teacher at Victoria High school, has already used the game several times in his classes. B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 a good icebreaker,B次元官网网址 he said, adding that playing the game helps to generate further discussions about the questions on the cards.

If youB次元官网网址檙e still struggling with the initial questions, the answers are: Shania Twain and Moose Javians. DonB次元官网网址檛 feel bad, we didnB次元官网网址檛 know either.

Information on the game and the free offer to teachers can be found or by contacting School House Teaching Supplies, 2014 Douglas St.
