We stumbled across the
National History Bee while on the internet today. My 6yr old became highly interested.... especially in the monetary prize offered.
I like that children are grouped by AGE rather than grade which helps those accelerated children not be penalized for their educational choices. I also liked the oral response/buzzer set up which helps with his 2e issues.
After finding that, he wants to know what other competitions he could do "to earn money". He wants to buy his own iPad.
What have you found and/or participated in for this age group? He has some rather difficult social anxiety developing and I particularly want to find engaging options that get him out of the house. The pull has to be BIG for him to push past the anxiety. It would also be helpful from a "challenge" perspective to hopefully not be the best in the room.
