If you run short of questions or want to expand the project to start an
academic team (Quiz Bowl Team), here's a link to a resource that I've used
with students on my academic bowl teams:

Subject: [LM_NET] TAR: Trivial Pursuit
> Hi everyone:
>
> Today I had students come to the library during lunch to play Trivial
> Pursuit.
> I used the Junior Edition, but it was pretty easy for them, and I didn't
> have to
> bother to give them the multiple choices. The participants were mostly
> from
> grades 8-10, and this edition is rated for ages up to 12.
>
> Does anyone have experience with another version of Trivial Pursuit that
> would
> not overwhelm them? Trivial Pursuit 6 is rated ages 12 - up but reviews
> at
> Amazon indicate it's tough. They gave alternate methods of play to ease
> things
> up, one being the asker (that would be me in this case) determining the
> likelihood
> of the contestant being able to answer the question, choosing another card
> (up
> to three) and then stopping at the third and asking the question no matter
> what.
>
> Any suggestions for versions and/or rule modifications that you've used
> successfully would be much appreciated.
> The kids are excited when they know the answers and I don't want to
> stifle
> their
> enthusiasm with an impossible edition.
>
> Meanwhile, I'll keep hoping that the Trivial Pursuit folks will create a
> Teen/YA edition.
>
> Thank you!
