INSTRUCTIONS •
You may create strict rules around how competitors play against each other, including pressing a buzzer or raising a hand when they have the answer to a question. You may also note how the competitors earn points in the quiz (5 points for every question they answer correctly for example). You may decide to include a mix of easy questions and difficult questions in the content so the competitors can still be challenged and have fun. Having a variety of questions can also keep the competition interesting and engaging for any spectators in the room. If you are comfortable using technology, you may use an existing quiz show program or online quiz applications.
Decide if participants will compete individually or in teams (You may opt for teams if you are trying to get the participants used to working as a group). This may be a good way to encourage social interaction among friends or teamwork among a class of students.
d - More than the previous 40,000 generations? (The generations of humans that preceded them over the last million years)
