Registration Directions for the PE Central Kids Quiz

Below are the directions for registering for the Kids Quiz. Registration is first done by the teacher so he/she registers the school and the class/es. Then the teacher asks the students to register by clicking Register Here on the site but they register as a Student and then they choose the teachers school and class. The site is designed primarily for students in 4th grade and above. Anyone can register for the Kids Quiz as an individual and therefore not be part of a group. NOTE: The Kids Quiz is NOT designed for teachers to set up and register their classes on their own. You must have students go and register to get them into the system.

Click here if you participated in the Kids Quiz before and need directions for moving your students to different classes.

NOTE: Anyone over the age of 18 can take the Quiz but they are NOT eligible for the prize drawing each week.

For Teachers Registering a School and Class (Group Leader):

If you want students in your school to use the Kids Quiz a teacher MUST register their school and a class first. After you successfully complete your school registration you must then ask your students to register (see directions below). Students choose their own user name and password to log on to either Log It or the Kids Quiz. You do not need to register twice to use both of these programs. You only need to register once.

  1. Visit: http://www.pecentral.org/kidsquiz/
  2. Click on "Register Here".
  3. Choose your User Name and Password. Click Submit button.
  4. Complete the next set of questions making sure you check the "teacher" radio button on the last question before you hit submit. In addition, it is important to note that all of your kids will have to register using the STATE that you choose from this section. In other words if you register from Virginia as the group leader then all of your kids need to choose VA when they register.
  5. Type in your School Name in the box provided on the next screen. Click Submit.
  6. Choose Yes on the Next Screen.
  7. Fill in your school and principal name information on the next screen. It is not a problem if you do not know your principals email address. Click Submit.
  8. Type in your Class Name (e.g., Mrs. Smiths 4th Grade, etc.). (If you would like to set it up so that your entire school can answer questions tell all of your kids to register under your school and then have them choose the class you set up. If you prefer to have individual classes answer questions then set up several classes such as "5th grade phys ed", or "Mrs. Smiths 4th grade", or "Marketing dept". You can set up as many classes as you like under the Manage Classes link after entering your user name and password and then click on create new groups from there.) Put in your email and other things on that page. Click Submit.
  9. Click on the Proceed to Kids Quiz button. The registration is complete. You have now registered your school and one class. From that page you can click on Manage Classes which will allow you to drop members of your group or see a listing of the group.
  10. Now, ask your students in your classes to register under your school and appropriate class.

For Students Registering after a Teacher has Registered their School and Class:

  1. Have each student visit: http://www.pecentral.org/kidsquiz/
  2. Have them click on the "Register Here" link.
  3. Have them choose a User Name and Password. (Make sure they write these down as we cannot email them or you with these. You may want to collect them as well just to make sure you have them. They may have to choose another user name as these need to be unique so those may already be taken. The Web site will prompt them on this if they choose something already in use.) Click the Submit button.
  4. On the next page have them complete the next set of questions making sure they choose the SAME state that you put in when you registered. For example, if you chose Georgia then that is the state they need to put in. Finish with having them choose "STUDENT" as their user type.
  5. On the next screen they choose the school that you registered from the drop down menu on the left side of the screen. DO NOT have them type in a new school.
  6. On the next screen they choose the class that you registered them for from the drop down menu.
  7. After they click Submit they will be taken directly to the Kids Quiz site where they can click on Show Question and it will display the question of the day. On the left it should welcome them using their first name and underneath that your name and group should be there as well.
