I was asked by Camp Med, a licensed day care program and summer camp sponsored by the City of South Pasadena, to give a formally presenting something to our campers regarding the upcoming Summer Olympics, as I would be leaving for Beijing shortly to work on the Games. I thought if I just talk and the kids just listen, it could get kind of boring. So instead, I proposed an Olympic Family Feud. The campers were divided into 4 groups. The winning group would each receive a prize. The way it worked is that I would ask a question and give one specific group a probability to respond. Unlike television Family Feud where only one person may participate, here anybody from the group could chip in. The team leader would then try to write down the best answer. If the answer was wrong, the question would move to the next group. If one group was noticeably weaker, they would get the requiring little effort questions. What struck me is how engaged the kids got. You could see the wheels turning. They started thinking. They wanted to give the right answer. They wanted to win. They were having fun and so were the other counselors. The questions asked required dissimilar skills, memory, reasoning and likewise listening (to what I had talked with regards to all around the summer). Due to the internet, it was very easy to come up with questions as multiple trivia, kids and data internet sites exist. When I returned from the Olympics, the kids were very fascinated with regards to my experience. It was as if the Olympic Family Feud had opened the door for them to be conscious and fascinated in the Olympics. The event was such a success that we are following it up with a Halloween Family Feud. For Halloween Family Feud, more jokes and questions with an factor of levity will be included.
