Battle of the Books

Teams of 3-6 students within their age/grade-level brackets will sign up to read and master 15 age-appropriate books. This leads up to an event where they'll compete with the other teams at their level to answer questions about all the books to earn points. The team(s) with the highest points wins! It's that simple!

How does it work?

This will be a single day event. Teams will compete in quiz show style competitions over several rounds separated by age level.
Answers will be submitted electronically, and teams will be awarded points for correct answers, not fast responses.
An awards ceremony will be held at the end to recognize the teams and announce the winners.
