From early childhood, then at school and college, we took part in various quizzes. We all remember how we wanted to show off our erudition in front of our classmates by answering a tricky question correctly. Everyone, young and old, is interested in the quiz; it’s so interesting to try your hand at finding the right answers, and even possibly in an extreme situation.

What is a quiz

They say that the word " quiz "was invented by the Soviet writer Mikhail Koltsov in the 20s of the last century. Since then, the word has taken root and has spread throughout the country. Already in kindergarten, the children themselves (!) ask for a quiz game: this is such interesting entertainment. It would seem, what’s wrong with answering questions? But no, answering thoughtful and pre-prepared questions is not that easy. It is necessary to show ingenuity, erudition, knowledge of the subject and ultimately receive a well-deserved reward. The quiz develops children's ability to think logically, memory and erudition.

Quiz games are very popular now: both on the Internet and on the TV screen. Remember the popular game “What? Where? When?" or “How to become a millionaire?”, as well as the super popular “Field of Miracles”. And these are all quizzes. They differ in the way they are conducted and the prizes, but the basis is still the same - answers to questions.

Play quizzes

There are tabletop quizzes with already prepared questions of varying difficulty. Participants enter the game and answer questions one by one. Or you can come up with a quiz yourself on a given topic. Conducting quizzes is possible both live, for example, in the classroom, and on the Internet. They conduct quizzes on the Internet for entertainment, or to attract users to their website or blog.

What kinds of quizzes are there?

Very different. They may vary in topic, method of delivery, or age of participants. But, as a rule, they are all aimed at human intellectual development. The rules for creating quizzes are simple: you need to determine the purpose of the quiz on a given topic and come up with questions. Questions can be very different: from the simplest to the most tricky. The more intricate the question, the more interesting it is. Often quizzes are combined with light physical exercises, for example, if you catch a ball, you have to answer a question. The more balls caught and questions answered, the closer the victory.

So, what conclusion have we come to? Quiz is an intellectual game based on questions and answers. Thousands of people, starting from kindergarten age, are fond of this entertainment. The quiz is so interesting!

How to arrange it, how does it differ from other games? They say that if you are asked to quickly answer a lot of different questions, it is already a quiz. Rather, this is the simplest option. So what makes the quiz so interesting and popular? Let's figure it out.

Story

The entertainment itself has a long history. And the word that means it was invented by the writer Mikhail Koltsov. His newspaper had a section in which all kinds of intellectual competitions were published: charades, riddles, interesting questions. It was led by a journalist named Victor. Hence the word "quiz".

This is a competition in wit, intelligence, and erudition. Events developed in the twenties of the last century, when the new country was building a society unlike the old one. Everything original was held in high esteem. Quiz has caught on both as a term and as entertainment. They especially tried to get young people interested in a new activity. Thanks to the press, the whole country soon learned what a quiz was. The activity is so exciting that the country has already become different, and competitions are being held more and more often, and new varieties are being invented.

What kinds of quizzes are there?

Intellectual entertainment comes in many different forms. They are divided by topic, age groups of participants, and methods of conducting. Nowadays, a lot of quizzes are held on the Internet. Some of them are aimed at attracting users, others are carried out for entertainment. More often, these competitions are aimed at stimulating the development of intellectual abilities.

Children already in kindergarten know what a quiz is. Because this find turned out to be invaluable for teachers. The kids play and gain new knowledge! There is no need to force them, they ask themselves. Competitive spirit

makes you want to learn more and more in order to win. And at school this entertainment is used quite often. This is one of the favorite competitions on

How to come up with a quiz

First you need to choose the theme and goal of the game. Be sure to take into account the age of the participants. For simple competitions, questions are simply composed based on the amount of knowledge supposedly available to the players. For example, to create a history quiz for a certain class, educational material is taken and studied. Based on this, questions are drawn up. The organizer should also select the answers in advance so as not to get confused during the game.

There are more complex competitions. When conducting them, you need to explain the rules, the process, and generally what a quiz is. We often see examples of such games on television screens. Various shows where you not only need to give the correct answers, but do it under extreme conditions. Here, not only erudition plays a role, but also the strength of the nervous system. It is gaining immense popularity on social networks. You can create your own quiz there. Especially many visitors will come if you offer a prize for winning.

But the rules of creation are still the same. It is necessary to determine the purpose of the competition. What exactly do you want from the players, what should they demonstrate? You can come up with the most incredible questions without fear that the participants will not cope. Thanks to their huge number, the success of the competition is guaranteed.

What is a quiz for children

For kids, you can start creating games as early as three years old, when they understand the competitive process. For example, you can choose questions about your favorite fairy-tale characters or cartoon characters. In this way, children will learn not only to remember what they see, but also to use their still small knowledge. When they get older, it is better to organize quizzes with movement. Children are fidgety, so why keep them in place? Select questions based on the school curriculum. For example:

What is the teacher's name?

How to hold a pen correctly?

What does the word "study" mean?

Change - what is it?

The quiz will be much easier to understand if accompanied by simple physical activities. You can pass the ball to the guys: whoever catches it is responsible. You can write questions on a piece of paper and put them away. Divide the children into teams. Everyone will have to run to a stack of questions, read one, answer, come back and pass the baton to the next one. The fastest is the winner!

A little about the sad

Unfortunately, the quiz also attracted scammers. This method can be used to receive money from gullible players. Fraudsters live mainly on the Internet and use mobile communications. You can also meet them on the street. Therefore, you need to be careful if you are offered to pay for the opportunity to demonstrate your erudition.

Let's summarize. What is a quiz? The definition of this concept is quite simple - intellectual competition. The development of methods and techniques has greatly expanded it. The process is endless, the same as improving your own abilities. This is a very exciting activity - a quiz.

Consists of answering oral or written questions from various fields of knowledge.

The games mainly differ from each other in the rules that determine the order of moves, the type and complexity of the question, the procedure for determining the winners, and the reward for the correct answer.

There are tabletop quizzes with pre-prepared questions. Very often, the board game market offers several versions of the same game at the same time, differing in the set (often difficulty level) of questions. There are also additional sets of questions sold separately from the game.

Examples of board games that are quizzes:

Origin of the word

The word "quiz" originated in the 1920s. It was invented by the famous Soviet journalist and writer Mikhail Koltsov as the name of a newspaper collection, including various questions, charades, puzzles, etc. This entertainment strip was prepared by a certain Victor, a newspaper employee. From this Victor the “quiz” came about.

Subsequently, they found a connection between this word and the word “victory”. Victor - lat. winner. This word came to mean everything that has questions and answers.

Online quizzes

With the advent of the Internet, it became possible to create specialized quiz sites, such as Mirk Quiz, which is built on the IRC online chat engine, allowing the quiz to take place in real time. Some of them even offer cash prizes for the winners.

In addition to quiz sites, you can play online and in jabber chats. For example, with the Quizer bot ([email protected])

Another example of an online quiz game is the game Conquiztador, which has been around since 2002.

Many thematic sites also host pages with quizzes designed to entertain visitors and popularize the site's focus.
