How to interest children
For the most part, students themselves do not mind taking on such a responsible mission as participating in an intellectual relay race. But for the game to be filled with excitement, thirst for victory and effort, it is worth coming up with motivation. It could be:
- a gift for everyone;

There are countless ideas you can come up with regarding incentives. The main thing is that there is an incentive to active position in the intellectual relay race.
Interesting intellectual questions for high school students

I tried really hard...
Firstly, I cut from " Komsomolskaya Pravda» collections with entertaining questions for several years in a row. To be honest, all this is available in electronic form on the website kp.ru, but I saved your time, since I took 1-2 good questions from each collection.
Secondly, I have written down the most successful and understandable questions for a family holiday, so that adults, children and teenagers can play on the same team.
Third, I conveniently formatted the questions for the quiz with answers so that the host simply opened my article on his tablet and held an intellectual party for family and friends. In the left column are questions. On the right are the answers. Easily!
If you need to organize and conduct cool game with our professional presenters, interesting questions, sound design and props, We work in Moscow.
What occasion is the idea suitable for?
These questions are not for children (), but they are quite simple. The quiz can be done on family holiday when several generations come together (birthday, anniversary, wedding anniversary, New Year, March 8, February 23). The questions are also suitable for entertainment event in high school.
1. Team tournament
Option 1. Divide your guests into 2 teams. If there are a lot of people and you have more than 2 teams of 6 people, make three, four or five teams. The fact is that the answers do not need to be shouted or voiced after 60 seconds, but written on forms. This makes it easier to prevent chaos. The presenter will read out the correct answers when he receives the forms from all teams.
Each correct answer earns one point.
Option 2. This style of play can sometimes be seen in the favorite “What? Where? When?”, when it is difficult to determine the leader for the final. One team sits at the gaming table, the rest stand around. The team plays until the first loss. Stands up and gives way to the other team. In the end, the team that was at the table on the final question wins.
Don’t forget that players will need a tea break (or a serious gastronomic break), a music or dance break, and prizes to reward the best (fun, artistic, beautiful, small) player.

1. Does a person experience pain when their head is cut off?
Answer: yes, he does. A medical study conducted in 1983 concluded that no matter how quickly an execution is carried out, several seconds of pain are inevitable when a person loses their head. Even when using the guillotine, which is considered one of the most “humane” means of decapitation, severe pain cannot be avoided, which will last at least 2 to 3 seconds.
2. Why are pineapples so prickly?
The prickly outside of pineapples seems to defeat the very purpose of this fruit: how can animals get to the sweet pulp that lies inside? The fact is that those pineapples that are sold in stores are actually still completely unripe. Animals living in forests eat pineapples after they are ripe. A ripe pineapple becomes soft and easy to open, and then animals eat it. Many plants have a prickly outer surface to protect the fruit until it is fully ripe.
3. What are the dimensions of a wormhole?
The mole feeds on worms and other reptiles that penetrate its underworld. The size of the mole hole depends on how rich in living creatures the land in which the mole lives is. Of course, the hole of a mole living under a lush meadow will be significantly smaller than the hole that a mole living in acidic soil will dig. In total, an adult mole can dig a hole with an area of more than 7 thousand square meters, building a multi-level network of tunnels that can have up to 6 levels. The mole digs a hole deep, with various passages and “storerooms” in which it stores its prey.
4. If you are wearing black pants or a skirt, does it make your butt look smaller?
Answer: yes, it is. Human eye perceives better light colors, so the outlines of body parts in dark clothes appear smaller in size. The problem is that this only works when you are looking at the person from behind. When you look at it from the side, the butt shows its true size.
5. Why does nettle sting so painfully?
Nettle causes such a strong feeling of discomfort when touched on the skin because this plant secretes a mixture of 3 chemicals when the delicate hairs on its leaves are destroyed upon contact with human skin. Against the burn of these acids chemicals, which are part of nettle, it is customary to use a remedy such as applying a sorrel leaf to the affected area of the skin, which releases an alkali when rubbed against the skin. The effectiveness of this remedy is questionable; some believe that the pain relief is actually because the cool sorrel leaf cools the skin.
7. Why, if you brush a cut apple with lemon juice, does it not darken?
The answer to this question lies in the cellular structure of the apple. When a knife cuts the peel, the cells of the apple are destroyed, and the air oxidizes the enzymes of this fruit. The process when an apple acquires Brown color, aims to help the cell healing process and also make the apple unattractive to animals who would want to eat it. And citric acid, which is contained in lemon, slows down this process of changing the color of the apple cut.
8. How fat does a person need to be to be bulletproof?
To do this you would have to become terribly fat. The most common caliber bullet, 9 mm, is capable of penetrating 60 cm of human flesh before stopping completely. In addition, even if the bullet were lodged in fat deposits on the body, the bullet impact would cause serious damage internal organs, and the person could die from vascular thrombosis.
9. What animals eat wasps?
Wasps are eaten by birds, skunks, bears, weasels, rats and mice. Wasps and bees are eaten by 133 species of birds, which avoid the bites of these insects by crushing them against the trunk or branches of trees. Badgers dig up wasp nests and eat their contents, despite the obvious displeasure and resistance of the nest inhabitants. Wasps are also eaten by dragonflies, frogs, moths and beetles. The larvae of some wasp species taste good when fried in oil.
10. Why didn't nature invent the wheel?
Nature invented it, it was just unnoticed until recently. Microorganisms use round discs for movement. Bacteria move using “wheels”—they move by attaching to a “wheel” in the cell membrane. This wheel rotates at high speeds (up to 100 revolutions per second) and produces electricity that charges proteins attached to the cell membrane.
