Current
Events Sweepstakes is a proven teaching aid that is invaluable
for educators to help students to become more aware of
events in the world around them. Used by social studies, government,
and civics teachers since 1968, Current Events Sweepstakes is
published weekly throughout the school year.
Each
issue contains questions arranged in an easy-to-play game
format that will involve the whole class. The questions are
organized into categories covering
all aspects of current events, from politics to sports, national
affairs, the arts, science, and more. Questions are chosen
by an experienced staff of educators from national and international
news events.
Teachers
find that Current Events Sweepstakes quickly becomes one of
the most popular and effective teaching aids in their classrooms.
Because of the interactive nature of the game, students become
challenged to "bone up" for the competition by
reading newspapers, the Internet, magazines and watching the news on
TV.
