The World Education Games

The World Education Games is the exciting event for ALL students around the world. It runs from 6-8 March, involving 5.5million students from over 200 countries and territories. Practice opens on 1 February. This is the global challenge to get ALL students (4-18 years of age) excited about learning, and to give the top students in each school an opportunity to see how they measure up against the best.


The format is:

The Games are now open for Practice

6 March - World Spelling Day

7 March - World Maths Day

8 March - World Science Day
 
Students are given their own personal online Games centre, from which they can participate in all 3 events from school and home.
Students are matched in real time with up to 3 other students of similar age and ability in exciting live challenges. For maths and spelling each challenge lasts 1 minute. For science, each challenge lasts 1 to 3 minutes depending on the number of participants in a challenge.
Students earn points for correct answers, with their personal tally growing as they complete the challenges.
Each event has 50 challenges in total, meaning students can complete each event in around an hour either in a computer class at school, and/or from home. Science may take 2 hours to complete. This can be done in separate sittings over the 48 hours of each event.
