Bring Out The Wizard In Kids With A Harry Potter Quiz
Q. I think that Harry Potter provides an excellent learning
opportunity for my kids. How can I take advantage of his
popularity to teach my children something?
A. You're on the right track here I think. A Harry Potter quiz
would be an outstanding vehicle to teach your children logic.
You don't necessarily have to focus on particular scenes from
any of the books or movies, you can use a Harry Potter quiz as a
foothold into a wider learning experience.
For example, you could devise a Harry Potter quiz that sets up a
scenario where Harry Potter is faced with a problem that needs
to be solved. He can use 1/3 magic, 1/3 math, and 1/3 logic to
solve the problem.
For example: You could create a Harry Potter quiz question that
says:
"Harry Potter is lost in the Forbidden Forrest. He has forgotten
his magic wand and his spell book. All he has is his watch, a
telescope, and one spell that lets him understand what animals
are saying but doesn't let them understand him. Help Harry
Potter get back to Hogwarts."
Let me just say that I'm not sure that this particular Harry
potter quiz question can even be answered. It's your job to
write the quiz, I'm only here to give you ideas.
What you want to make sure is that you don't just go for the
easy answer and create a Harry Potter trivia quiz. That won't do
anything for your goal of creating a Harry Potter quiz that will
teach your children something. Be creative and imaginative. The
results of a well-crafted Harry Potter quiz will be magical if
you do it right.
