Join the Active Parramatta Van for a very popular LIVE online trivia tournament!

Registration for this event will open Monday 6 September at 9:30am

Let’s Get Mathematical: Advanced is a fun and interactive game, designed to be played from behind your screen! Children compete against one another to answer a range of trivial questions from the topic of maths! The winner of the tournament will receive a digital certificate!

Let’s Get Mathematical is a LIVE game which will be conducted online via Zoom and Kahoot.

Zoom is a video conferencing service, and Kahoot is a games-based learning platform. Some parents may already use Zoom for work and children may already use Kahoot through school. The following requirements are necessary for a full experience:

• Internet connection

• A computer or laptop

• Download and run the Zoom application for free via www.zoom.us before the program

Alternative: A tablet or smart phone may also be used, however switching between apps is necessary. For the best experience, we recommend to use a device for Zoom and a separate device for Kahoot. For example, use a smartphone to view Zoom (which will showcase the main screen of trivial questions), while using a tablet to access Kahoot (to select and answer questions).If using a smartphone/tablet, download both Zoom and Kahoot applications for free via your application store before the program.

Note: Participants’ videos will be turned off during the program, so participants are unable to see others as a privacy precaution.

A Meeting ID and Password will required to access Zoom, and a Games ID is required to access Kahoot. These important details will be shown in the registration confirmation.

 

Important: Please carefully read and make note of all the information below.

2. Are your activities accessible to kids of all abilities?

We aim to make our school holiday programs accessible to children of all abilities. The activities marked with an asterisk(*), are organised by trained facilitators who are able to deliver activities that respond to children with a range of needs. If you have any questions about physical access or inclusion in any of our school holiday activities, please call us on (02) 9806 5343.

3. The activity states that I must have my camera on to participate; is this mandatory?

Yes, in the interest of child safety and to help keep the online environment a safe place we ask that you only register for such activities if you are able to have your camera on for the duration of the activity. Additionally, this allows for you to get the best experience as the activities require active engagement with the facilitators.

5. I don’t wish for my home environment to be viewed. How can I avoid this?

We encourage you set up in a family area of your home such as the living room. We also encourage you apply a virtual background to help block out any unwanted objects from the background. To learn how you can do this please visit the following link: https://zoom.us/virtual-backgrounds

6. There are multiple back to back sessions of an activity, can I book my child in for all of them?

No, due to the popularity of our program and limited spaces available any back to back bookings will be cancelled to allow for a greater chance for everyone to participate in our activities.
