Session 4 of 8
Turn your favourite topic into a quiz for your friends.
Ask: "What is one topic you know really well โ better than most people your age?" (It could be a sport, a game, an animal, a show โ anything.) "I bet you know enough to write a quiz about it."
"Let's use AI to help build it."
Today your child is the quiz designer. They decide the topic, difficulty, and style.
Read the quiz together. Your child checks each answer โ do they agree? Do they know better? Change anything wrong.
Print it or copy it out. Your child can use this quiz on family tonight โ or bring it to school (with parent's permission).
Ask AI to create a quiz about a topic your child definitely knows better than AI:
Find the mistakes AI makes on a topic your child is an expert in. This is a powerful moment: "You know more about this than the AI does."
Making a quiz with AI is great โ it shows how AI can help you create. Using AI to answer the quiz your teacher gave you is different โ that is bypassing the thinking your brain needs. The quiz today is something you created, using your knowledge to check AI's work. That is the right way.
Built a real quiz using AI โ and stumped someone with it
AI as a creation tool โ using it to make something tangible that can be shared. Also: your child as the expert, checking AI's work against their own knowledge.
The key learning here is the child checking AI's answers โ not just accepting them. Encourage this actively: 'Do you think that answer is right? How do you know?' If the child is an expert on the topic, they should be correcting AI, not the other way around.
The homework rule is important to establish early. Have a brief conversation: 'If your teacher gives you a quiz, what do we do? We think it ourselves. AI helps us make things and understand things โ it doesn't do our thinking for us.'
