BIG QUIZ WHEEL = GREAT GATHERING GAME

Les jeux grand format, roues de quiz, sont très efficaces et stimulent la curiosité et l’interaction entre les participants.

A large wheel of chance attracts and gathers several people to play the quiz game at the same time. When a group of people gathers around a wheel to answer the questions, we can then either divide the group in two, or have everyone participate at the same time, or even assign numbers to the players and proceed by taking turns. Indeed, these ways have been developed to stimulate reflection, the exchange of ideas and information and finally the discussion between the players before giving an answer to a question. The fact of creating an island of people around a tool like the big quiz wheel attracts other people who are perhaps less interested in the activity, by stimulating their curiosity and increasing group synergy which then has a positive impact on the participation of everyone.

General public activities during INTERNATIONAL DAYS decreed by the UN, neighborhood parties.

Indeed, these large format games are very useful during international days on the environment, 4Rs or healthy lifestyles. For example, a public activity during a neighborhood/village party, Earth Day or Canadian Environment Week can raise awareness among many people at the same time while having fun. They are also suitable for events in front of a supermarket, a credit union or during a national holiday, a fundraiser, in a residence for the elderly or disabled. Moments of relaxation and pleasure in a playful context are generally ingredients of a winning and very effective combination to have fun, raise awareness and educate as many people as possible at the same time.

How to play?

Before playing, explain to young people the different categories present on the quiz wheels. In this way, they will immediately have an idea of the questions that will be asked of them. Also explain why this division was adopted. For example, the categories and classifications of questions have been chosen by type of objects which have certain common characteristics and which generally correspond to different recycling channels.

How do I play the basic game in large groups?

Le joueur doit tourner la roue ou la flèche, qui va s’arrêter à un moment donné sur un symbole correspondant à une catégorie de questions (dans une roue il y a 12 catégories). Il y en a entre 12 et 24 sous-thèmes les jeux de quiz. Chaque bonne réponse à une question donne 5 ou 10 points dépendant de la difficulté. Le joueur ou l’équipe qui a remporté le plus de points gagne la partie. À la fin, on peut lire les explications qui sont fournies pour chaque réponse à une question donnée. Les jeunes auront ainsi plus de chance d’apprendre et de réfléchir sur différents aspects de l’environnement.

Here are some other ways to play:

Play with a large group of more than 20 people:

Divide the group into two large teams. They must ask each other questions.

We also suggest that you take inspiration from the rules of the small ENVIRO-QUIZ game (Game in a box).

On peut faire aussi des jeux de tombola, des jeux de mimes et d’interaction.

Jeux de quiz relatifs à l’environnement et au recyclage, réalisés en fonctions des journées internationales décrétées par les Nations Unis.
