Fairmont State GeoSavvy Guide: Games and Quizzes

Check out our Teaching Geography with Ticket to Ride Activity.

The spirit of geography quizzes is one of geo-literacy, lifelong learning, and friendly competition.

Above all, remember: THIS IS A GAME, NOT A TEST. Anyone can write a question nobody can answer; what's really difficult is writing a question that a good team can answer early, but most teams can readily answer at the question's end. - HOW TO WRITE A ROUND OF QUESTIONS Tom Deaton, Dalton State College
