5 reasons to motivate your youngster to participate in a quiz contest

School tests are learning experiences, but no one can claim they are fun. Quiz contests, on the other hand, are also learning experiences, it’s just that no one thinks they are ‘study’. Kids look upon a game. This makes a quiz a perfect example of edutainment. Keeping this in mind, Hindustan Times is organising a Republic Day quiz contest known as ClassAct 2022. This virtual school quiz contest is a great opportunity for aspiring quizzers of Grades 1 to 12. Kids will only have to fill in an online registration form on this page to register for the quiz. Here are the top 5 reasons why you should motivate your kids to take part in a quiz contests like ClassAct 2022.  

Quizzes are now a part of classrooms today  
Teaching has changed. The old method of mugging texts is getting replaced with an emphasis on making the learning process enjoyable. Teachers are using quiz style assignments both in physical classes and in remote classes. So the quiz format is a teaching resource now.  

They make students interested in learning  
Quizzes are fun for students, and therefore they are also a sneaky form of learning. Teachers know the kids will learn, while students know they are about to have a ‘break’ from routine classes. Quizzes end up stimulating interest in learning about new subjects in participants, and that’s a boon for parents. 

Teach the value of team work  
Quizzes are often team events. They are excellent ground for students to learn the importance of individual contribution and teamwork. Both are lifeskills that they will need later at the workplace.  

Quizzes help students retain information 
Learning is not enough, retaining and using knowledge in the right place is what matters. Quizzes are a great exercise of learning, remembering, and applying. This practice automatically boosts the process of retaining information with the aim of using it, and that is the making of a good student.   

Help students identify knowledge gaps 
Try this out at home. Once your kid finishes a particular topic or chapter in any subject, hold a little home quiz, where you are the quiz master. Give them a little reward of a favourite meal or a weekend movie. They will enjoy it, and you will get to know the weak spots in their learning process.
