World Quiz



Ahh! The World Quiz! This is what took us to Orlando in the first place! On Saturday, Jourdyn and I awoke and prepared for her day of quizzing. Parents are not allowed in the quiz area. They can only sit in the back and spectate! The only parents allowed up by the kids were parents who volunteered to be scorekeepers. So I volunteered to scorekeep! I got a wonderful purple shirt and front row seating to see Jourdyn and our kids quiz!



The kids had two 20 question rounds. They had to answer each question to the best of their ability. Jourdyn missed six out of 40, earning the Silver Award! Katie and Nicholas, Hope's other Blue level quizzers earned Gold. We also had two Red level younger quizzers at the World quiz - Wesley, who took home a Silver and Devon who earned a Gold!



There were over 2000 kids there quizzing. After the quiz was over and while they were tabulating the scores, they had a praise band come up and teach the kids all the dances: like the "Carlton", the Sprinkler, the shopping cart, etc. They also did some praise and worship songs with all the motions! It was a great day! And Jourdyn did fantastic!



All of the kids were relieved that it was over! We are looking into Teen Quizzing for Jourdyn for the fall. We found a church right around the corner from Hope that does it and is willing to help us get it started.
