Description

Hold a quiz with Scouts socially distancing. Scouts answer questions by running/jumping/hopping to an answer cone assigned to them, so are being active while they do the quiz.

Resources

- Cones, hula hoops, or something to mark points on the floor - at least 3 per participant.

- A quiz or some questions with a limited number of answers to choose from.

Or use another quiz (or make your own!)

Instructions

Lay out 3 cones per team in a line with a bit of distance between them. This could be a short distance so they can jump between the 3 cones, or a longer distance so they have to jog between each one.

Repeat this for each Scout taking part. Each line should be at least 2m away from each other line. (See attached image).

Then assign each column of cones to mean something, for example one could be "true" and another "false" for true/false answers, or they can be A, B and C for multiple choice answers (add extra cones if you want more choices). If you have different colours for the cones, each Scout could have a Red cone for example that means "A", a white cone for "B" and a blue cone for "C".

Assign a Scout to each line of cones. They can start standing above one cone and need to answer a question by getting to another cone to answer the question.

Ask the questions and give some time for the Scouts to get to their cone before telling them the answer. They can either keep their own score or a leader can by looking down the answer column and noting which Scouts are stood there.

The 0%, 50%, 100% option gives some markers for questions where Scouts have to guess a percentage of something, they'll have to think roughly on the line where that percentage would be.

If asking true/false questions, get the Scouts to stand by the middle cone before asking the question.

If you want to run the questions with elimination, have the Scouts who answer a question wrong to sit down until there is only one Scout left standing to answer questions.
