TeamSmarts competitions
TeamSmarts is an online LifeSmarts activity designed to be used cooperatively by teams of students. Students can compete in the FCCLA division or in the LifeSmarts division. This LifeSmarts learning tool helps teens investigate important consumer topics and helps teams prepare for live competition. TeamSmarts fosters problem solving, team building, and leadership skills.
Monthly quizzes contain 100 questions, and each month will focus on a specific LifeSmarts topic. Teams have one hour in which to complete TeamSmarts. Teams will be scored for speed and accuracy. The more quickly the team correctly answers a question, the more points the team receives for that answer.
