5against5 known as a TV show (family quiz) is suitable as a quiz game in the afternoon or as an evening show on the occasion of an anniversary or parents' evening. The preparation for it is time-consuming, especially if the questions are created by yourself.
Game explanation
As the name suggests, 5against5 pits 5 players against each other as a team. One player comes to the buzzer table for each question. The game master asks the question "We asked 100 people, name a country that starts with D." Whoever presses the buzzer first, in the example the player from team A, can give an answer, "Denmark", the answer is resolved. The opponent from Team B will then have the opportunity to give an answer as well. His goal will be to have his answer said by more people. If the player from team B with Germany has given the better answer, the question goes to his team. Each player must now give an answer in turn, and the answers are then broken down. If something is said that was not said by anyone, this is considered wrong, if the answer is delayed too long, this is also considered wrong. Either team B manages to figure out all the answers, or after three wrong answers, the question goes to team A. Team A can consult in the meantime and may then give another answer, if it is correct, the points go to team A, team B gets nothing.
The game of course allows for various other variations.
Boys' Parish Edition
In order to make the game suitable for boys' parishes and thus cool, it is worth adapting the questions to the boys' parish and conducting the surveys yourself. On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the Jungschar Stami St. Gallen, 40 Jungschärler, 40 Jungschar parents, 40 Jungschar leaders or 40 former Jungschar leaders were asked. With the help of Surveymonkey or other survey platforms this can be done relatively easily (but still time-consuming). Here are some examples from Jungschar Stami:
- We asked 40 Jungschar parents, what is the most tedious thing about Jungschar?
- We asked 40 Jungscharers, what do they want to be when they grow up?
- We have asked 40 former Jungschärler, what was the absolute Jungscharzvieri for them?
The challenge is to create a presentation that is appealing and works, so that the audience and fellow players see questions as well as answers. The difficulty here is that you don't know what answer will be said next. The PowerPoint presentation available for download uses the function of the trigger. If you press on the field in presentation mode, only the one field will be revealed. For the operation of the PPt, questions and answers must therefore be known exactly, since it must be decided relatively spontaneously whether the answer corresponds to a correct answer. The second challenge is the indication of the collected points. This is most simply indicated via 2 further computers and monitors in a separate presentation.
Participants
Different variations are also possible for the game participants. Since it is especially difficult for younger children to think of answers that would not be their first, it is recommended to mix the teams strongly. At the jubilee of the Jungschar Stami there was a formative person of the last Jungschar years, a Jungschar mother/father, a former Jungschärler, a Jungschärler and an Ameisli in each team. In addition to the quiz show, cool contributions from the Jungschärler lead to a great evening/afternoon.
