If you’re in grades 6-8, LifeSmarts Junior Varsity (JV) is designed for you. It’s totally free: No registration fees are required for schools and organizations to participate.
How does it work?
LifeSmarts JV is completely online, so you can register, train and compete with nothing but a computer and Internet connection! Here’s what you need to do to get started:
1. Between now and February 12, 2012, find some friends (4 -5 players required) and an adult coach and form a team.
1. Register (your coach will need to register your team, too) and take a short LifeSmarts pre-test. To do this, visit the official LifeSmarts JV page (http://middle.lifesmarts.org), pick Register Here and follow the directions. After you register, choose the Pre-Test Quiz option.
2. You can complete practice quizzes as often as you want by visiting the LifeSmarts JV site (http://middle.lifesmarts.org) and entering your username and password. After logging in, just choose Take a Practice Quiz. There is also a Daily Five Question Quiz that will test your knowledge on rotating topics every day.
3. When you feel ready, or on the dates chosen by your team, you can take the Round 1, 2 and 3 quizzes by visiting the LifeSmarts JV site (http://middle.lifesmarts.org), logging in and choosing Join the Competition. Each quiz has 20 multiple-choice questions. The National Consumers League will tally your individual scores and average the top four scores on your team to determine your state ranking.
