Current Events: The News Game

Divide group into 5.

Give each group a topic:
1. Entertainment
2. Miscellaneous
3. Music
4. British Columbia
5. Sports

Each group must provide 5 current event questions in relation to their topic and rank in order of difficulty relating to the points awarded for each. Each group has a team speaker - this is the only person to speak to the scorekeeper, give the answer to the question and/or read the question out loud. Each group may converse amongst themselves to answer any of the questions.

If the group who first asked for the question does not answer it correctly, it goes to the next group and so on until all questions are answered. Scores are added up to find the group with the most "current event" knowledge.

You can play this game throughout the year and at the end of the year prizes are awarded to the group with the highest points.
