Get ready for this year’s Kids edition of the Big Live Nature Quiz, on Friday, November 7th! It’s a fun online trivia game that’s free to join for primary school students in grades 5 and 6 / groep 7 and 8, all across the Dutch Caribbean islands! The quiz is hosted by the Dutch Caribbean Nature Alliance (DCNA), and there are great prizes to be won.
Think you and a team of schoolmates are ready for the challenge? Teachers can put teams together and register you to participate.
The Kids edition of the Big Live Nature Quiz was created to bring students together from across the Dutch Caribbean – that’s Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao, Saba, St. Eustatius, and St. Maarten – about nature in a fun and interactive way, to instil pride in the islands’ wildlife, support nature-friendly practices, support the projects of the nature parks, and to bring kids of the Dutch Caribbean into contact with each other.
The quiz takes place from 8:30am to 9:15am, on Friday, November 7th. All questions will be multiple choice, and will be based on DCNA’s 2025 edition of magazine BioNews Kids.
Questions will be made available in four languages: English, Dutch, Papiamentu, and Papiamento. The yearly quiz was created to be an enrishing experience, combining fun and education, fostering a love for nature in the young minds all across the Dutch Caribbean.
Want to take part? Teachers can register teams of one person minimum, four persons maximum; and multiple teams are allowed to sign up in each school or class. Teachers can register, receive more details and instructions at https://dcnanature.org/quiz/. Participating schools will receive hard copies of BioNews Kids.
Participation is free of charge. The grand prize is a sailing and snorkel trip for the winning team and their teacher!
