The questions refer to everything that the students have learned about a country - the position of the country, the climate, the flag, the language, the capital, etc. The questions are designed by the students with the help of the teacher. The quiz can be played on several levels - class, school and international.

    Time: one school hour for each country (5 hours) + one hour for making and playing kahoot quiz

    Proofs:

    After this activity came the idea for the international quiz competition in geography "SOFT". The questions were related to the specifics of European countries participating in the SOFT project (Portugal, Romania, Finland, Lithuania and Greece), and the questions were reassembled by students with their teachers.

    The international competition was preceded by school competitions within six schools of the project member countries, where among the best students of individual schools and SOFT project members we received representatives in an international quiz in which 24 best students from six schools of SOFT countries participated in individual and team competitions.
