| Using Kahoot, a game-based learning application, your TDS team will promote an online trivia challenge to be completed by students. These 5-question trivia challenges are available on all the top risk factors for teen drivers – distractions, nighttime driving, speeding, low seatbelt use, and impairment – plus there are also challenges that focus on pedestrian safety, bicycle safety, and safety around trucks.
Each challenge provides vital information in an educational and entertaining format. Select a trivia topic that complements other activities you are doing or talk to your regional representative about which trivia challenge to use for your activity.
Please note that the laws referenced in the pedestrian and bicycle safety challenges are specific to Texas. |

Steps
|
- Promote the event to build interest. Notify students of date(s) for scheduled trivia challenge; this can be for a day or up to a week – you decide.
- Share the QR code or URL with students, and it will take them directly to the challenge through their device. Or, if they go to it from their browser (on desktop, laptop, tablet, phone, app), all they have to do is type in the noted PIN.
- To encourage student involvement, share the QR code/URL/PIN to the trivia challenge on your school social media sites, through campus e-mail, on a poster in the cafeteria or other high-traffic area, through classroom teachers, any way that you can think of to get students to go to the link to participate.
- Encourage students to complete the trivia challenge during the scheduled time.
Pro Tip: Set up a table during lunch periods where students can complete the challenge and receive TDS swag items for participating.
- Following the challenge, during morning announcements, use the attached answer key to review a trivia question and the correct answer each day to help educate students.
- Don’t forget to complete an activity form for TDS All-Star credit.
