J.17. College Bowl

Note: The leader should prepare a quiz which will suit the level of knowledge of each group.

The leader divides the group into two teams and reads out a question.
The first group to make the sound of a buzzer (leader can provide bells or buzzers) answers the question.
- If correct, the team gets ten points.
- If incorrect, the other team has ten seconds to answer. If they answer correctly, they get 5 points.
The team that finishes with the most points wins.

J.18. Line up By Jewish History

The leader gives each participant a card with the name of a landmark event in Jewish history and the dates of the event.
Participants have an allocated amount of time to line up from the earliest to the latest date.
After the line-up, participants read off their cards and their dates.
