Nostalgia Week Continued

The week's nostalgia continues with T.V. Trivia! The teens gave a list of shows that they remembered well and asked for trivia based on that. We then had to figure out how to limit this trivia and also make it engaging but not too easy for the teens!
The easiest way to do this was to pick a few categories and then present it to the teens in a Jeopardy-style game, with higher points being given for harder questions. (I had to be reminded how Jeopardy was played exactly.) This type of trivia can be applied to many different things, not just T.V. Be creative with it! (Anime trivia? Food trivia? Book trivia?) Have you played trivia in your library? If so what was it?
With our T.V. trivia, Legends of  the Hidden Temple, Spongebob, Doug, Rugrats and Ren and Stimpy were the shows that were picked. The teens could then choose from various categories, such as clip, character, or even a wildcard! This trivia ended up being a little harder for the teens than anticipated as they were nostalgic about the shows for a reason, they did not exactly remember everything about them! So, to make up for this everyone at the end who was able to stay got free DVD coupons! It was a fun night and can be applied to other situations and categories.
Dawn states: I am nostalgic about the Lone Ranger! Hi yo Silver, away!
