Preparing for Hippology and Quiz Bowl

Studying for either contest is similar since the reference material is similar. The major difference is Horse Quiz Bowl asks a question and the youth answers, where Hippology asks questions via a written examination, slides, and stations. Practice each time the club meets. Have youth write questions or provide classroom activities.

The Extravaganza
