>> We ran one last June by Zoom! It worked! It was actually a lot of fun. We used breakout rooms with 4 students and a teacher. We gave around 5 minutes in the breakout where the teacher asked about 10 questions with 30 seconds to answer. We only need the full 30 seconds for the books they didn't recognize, so we never ran out of time, most books took 5-10 seconds to answer. The 4 kids would give their best answer and the teacher would keep score. After 5 minutes we went back to the main room and the teachers gave the scores for the teams. We kept repeating this for a good 30-45 minutes. It was so much fun! The teachers had matching sets of questions and we just went in order down the list. If we finished early we ended our room and returned and waited for the others and talked about how we did, what we forgot and what we got right.

I have never done a regular Battle of the Books competition but I am assuming it would not be difficult to hold competitions via Zoom or other video chat platform. I am planning on running one for our 3rd-5th grade students and our 6th-8th grade students using the short 10 book list.
