Questions are derived from recent news stories and include such topics as, world events and leaders, national events and leaders, geography, historical and annual events, sports, and entertainment. Each week, we will supply you with 99 exciting questions and answers needed to play the game. The rules and guidelines of the game are printed on each issue and can be modified to suit your particular needs. The teacher reads the questions aloud and serves as the moderator and answer judge.
The Weekly News Quiz Game is published receive 31 issues per school year, typically from September through early-May. The Weekly News Quiz Game is not published during the holiday weeks of Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years and Spring Break.
Newspapers and news magazines, local newspapers, television news programs and the internet can be used as resources and references. No additional equipment is necessary, although some schools training competitive quiz teams use electronic bells or lights to better determine which student answers first.
For students and teachers, The Weekly News Quiz Game can bridge classroom learning with events that are happening in the world around them today and in the past.

We’ve been using The Weekly News Quiz Game for many years to train our teams competing in our intra-city Scholastic Bowl competition. It is a great deal of help and sure beats trying to write questions ourselves.
