At the present stage of development of educationalprocess, great attention was paid to non-traditional forms of education, the application of which contributes to an increase in interest in the subject and the adaptation of children in life.
One of the most frequently used forms isquiz. It is able to attract the attention of the child to the study of the subject due to the extraordinary nature of the questions used. And also this is, perhaps, one of the most familiar games since childhood, which consists in answering the questions posed.
Speaking about the educational process, it is impossible not to mention the use of such a form of children's education as a "quiz on geography". It is known that there are three main stages of the lesson:
The stage of actualization - the questions should be drawn up so that the students can recall the main points of the previously acquired knowledge that will help in the study of the new material.
At the stage of studying the new material, the proposedteacher questions should encourage children to search for answers ("why?", "for what?", "for what reason?", "what is it connected with?", "what can lead to?"). At this stage, it is best to use a small number of questions, but they must be capacious in content.
Reflection stage.In this case, questions should include answers that require knowledge gained from the study of the new lesson material. They should also be few, but they are sent to the main points. It is best to conduct a reflexion in the form of a quiz in writing - this will allow you to obtain additional grades for the students, and the teacher will give an opportunity to analyze the level of mastering the educational material.
In general, the quiz on geography as a kind of after-hour activity is most often used. Using it helps throughout the year to support the children's interest in the educational process.

The quiz for geography can be of several kinds, these are:
1. Thematic.Questions in this case are compiled on a specifically studied topic. It usually takes place to be in the lessons associated with the generalization of educational material, that is, to prepare for the test work.
2. Cross-topic (the preparation of questions should provide for the response of students to use existing knowledge from other fields of science).
In addition to all of the above, regardless of the type of quiz chosen by the teacher, the topic "geography" should meet the following criteria:
Before the teacher begins to write questions toquiz, he needs to decide on its type and target membership. The next step will be to inform the children about the upcoming event with the announcement of the topic and an invitation to participate.
About the time of the quiz, the prospective participants must be notified in advance.
The venue should correspond to the numericnumber of participants. In addition, if the event provides answers in writing, then the availability of the quiz sheet should be in sufficient quantity.
