The Indian Quizzing League (IQL) recently concluded its first summer camp in quizzing for children aged 10-15. The summer camp was held for 4 days over two weekends from May 16-24, 2009 in R.A.Puram.
The IQL is a Chennai based quiz club aimed at making quizzing fun. Apart from having regular quiz meetings, the IQL also hosts quizzes for schools, colleges and their independent India Quiz, an annual quiz that happens on January 26.
The ten children who attended the summer camp from various parts and schools of Chennai (there was one girl from Kota, Rajasthan as well) were introduced to the world of quizzing, the methods of collecting information, learning to be aware of various trivia and facts and the stories surrounding questions.
The kids also brought and presented their own questions, thus building their presentation skills and boosting their confidence as well. V. V. Ramanan, ace quizmaster was present in one of the sessions and shared his experience of more than 25 years in the quizzing field. During the course of this camp, the IQL also launched their first Quiz newsletter.
The grand finale quiz hosted at the end of the camp covered different topics, gave the kids a taste of the different kinds of rounds along with the funda behind each trivia being presented. Parents were present on the last two days to cheer their wards in the camp. Prizes were also awarded to the winners of the final day quiz.
The IQL team plans to make the summer camp a regular feature to help children learn with fun through quizzing.
