Practice Material
​There are 2 levels of competition in History Bee:
  • JHB (Junior History Bee): Grades 1, 2 and 3
  • SHB (Senior History Bee): Grades 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8
History bees (JHB and SHB) are held in two phases: Phase I (written) and Phase II (oral). Parents are not allowed in Phase I. They may be allowed in Phase II at the discretion of the judges, if the space permits.

Phase I is a written test with 25 questions. All contestants will get the same 25 questions. The contestants will have 30 minutes to complete Phase I.
Phase II contains five  rounds  with  each  student  getting  a  different  question.      The contestant is not allowed to ask the judges any information on the question. The contestant is allowed 30 seconds to provide his/her choice of the answer. The judges may award zero points to any contestant who ignores a request to start giving an answer.

​Background:
History  is  important  because  it  allows  us  to  understand  our  past,  which  in  turn  allows  understanding   our  present.  Studying  history  can  also  provide  us  with  insight  into  our  cultures  of  origin  as  well  as   cultures  with  which  we  might  be  less  familiar,  thereby  increasing  cross-¬‐cultural  awareness  and   understanding.      Currently  there  are  history  competitions  for  elementary,  middle,  and  high  school  students  at  regional,   national,  and  international  levels conducted  by  the  International  Academic  Competitions  (www.iacompetitions.com).  History  Competitions  include  National  History  Bee  and  Bowl  for   elementary  and  middle  school  students  and  National  History  Bee,  US  History  Bee,  and  History  Bowl  for  high  school  students.  International  History  Olympiad  is   conducted  for  middle  and  high  school  students.     

History Bee Pilot Plan:
The  intent  of  the   2019 Pilot is to  introduce  a  History Bee  contest  at  North  South  Foundation’s   US   Regional contests  to  encourage  kids  to  pursue  academic  excellence  in  the  field  of  history  and  to  help  prepare   them  to  compete  and  succeed  at  the  national  and  international  history  competitions.  The  History   contest  will  be  introduced  at  the  regional level only (no National Finals for History Bee during 2019)  and  will  have  Junior  History  Bee  and   Senior  History  Bee  component.  The  Junior  History  Bee  will  be  for  grades  1-¬‐3  and  Senior  History  Bee  will   be  for  grades  4-¬‐8.         

Format :
The  questions  will  be  based  on  the  following  categories  –    
1. US  History  
2. Indian  History  
3. European  History  
4. World  History  
5. Current  Events   
All contest rules will be similar to the Geography Bee for purposes of conducting the contest.
