How to Make a Quiz Board That Lights Up

Begin by taking a thumb tack and creating two small holes at the top and in the center of your square of cardboard. Create another small hole beneath the two holes at the top. It should be directly in between them.

Take your C battery and attach one wire to the positive (+) side and another wire to the negative (-) side. Take the wire that is attached to the battery's positive terminal and attach it to the base of the light bulb. Leave some wire left over so the wire can continue on from the light bulb to one of the holes you punched in the top of the paper. Pull this wire through the hole and pull the wire that is attached to it to the negative terminal through the other hole.

Tie the wires around paper fasteners and stick the paper fasteners through the two holes at the top of the piece of cardboard. Make sure there is lots of wire left. Glue on questions and answers in columns so that the questions are on the left side of the cardboard and the possible answers are randomly distributed on the right side of the cardboard.

Take your paperclips and clip them onto the cardboard beside each question and each answer. Using bare wire, attach the paper clip for each question to the paper clip associated with its correct answer. Now, when you touch one wire to a question and the other wire to the correct answer, the circuit will be completed and the light bulb will light up.

Decorate your quiz board using markers. Be sure to include the name of your quiz game.
