Frequently Asked Questions

 “How's” and the “Whys” of Game Show Mania and in conjunction with Earn & Learn, you and your school can earn money to benefit you and your classmates.

Basically how does Earn and Learn raise money?
Earn & Learn uses a Game Show set up to quiz students at each grade level against each other, and by being sponsored by their parents, family, friends and neighbors they raise money and learn at the same time.

How do I know how much to sponsor, I don’t want get caught spending too much?
Each students sponsor sheet will show a typical score for that particular game show type, follow the guidelines on the form, it is usually no less than $5.00 or more than $10.00 in most cases.

Can I make a flat donation, instead of paying later? Yes, whatever amount you see fit.

How will I know whether or not my child will participate as the representative for his/her class? Based on the schools decision as to which type they choose to go with, some schools take the highest pledge student, or most sponsored per class, and others will use a form of round robin style so that all students will play. No matter what only one final score per class is given credit and that is how the final amount is totaled up on the sponsor sheet. Example everyone is Ms. Smith's class will get credit for 400 points etc.

How are the questions decided upon, and where do they come from?
The teachers provide us with all the questions pertaining to the grade levels curriculum or perhaps state wide testing preparedness (Florida example - FCAT). Your students will be quizzed on the material they have been learning already.

If my child does not get chosen how do THEY learn?
If the children participating do not know and answer or should get the answer incorrect, the remaining class will be asked for help, therefore learning as they participate too.

How is the money collected? Does it have to be cash only?
Various ways, flat donations are collected as they are determined, after the event the old fashioned way, by going directly to their sponsors for it. Cash and personal checks are accepted, always made payable to the school directly, therefore no confusion. We ask they collect within a one week school period.

What if I do not want my child to be a participant?
Certainly not an issue, they can raise money and watch from the audience. Whatever reason someone may have, we will honor their request to not be a contestant.

Can I come and watch the event?
Yes, so far in all cases all schools have no issue with parents wishing to view the event, as long as all protocol for normal visitation on school property is maintained. Check with school directly for confirmation.

What does my child get for raising the most money? Perhaps the right to represent their class, or some schools offer incentives through Earn & Learn for gift cards etc. A separate sheet of these possibilities will be provided along with your child’s sponsor sheet. The main concept behind Earn and Learn is to not clutter your homes with candles, and wrapping paper, and overpriced candy.
