What it is

A quiz show about our world and the people in it. Every grade from Preschool to Grade 8 has twenty quizzes of eight questions: ten topics such as community helpers, rules and safety, maps and directions, continents and oceans, countries and capitals, money and work, calendars, cultures and history, then mix-up and challenge rounds. Children tap continents on a world map, find north on a compass, match helpers to their tools and put events on a timeline, and Olly explains each answer.
