BOB

What is Battle of the Books?

Battle of the Books -- or BOB -- is a team-based competition in which 5 students from OVMS compete together to answer questions about books that they have read. The books come from a list (linked below) that students read and talk about with each other. The goal during competition is to get the most questions right, earn the most points, and win the right to call their team Alachua County Champs!

OVMS is able to organize both an elementary as well as a middle school team. If you are an interested student, please see Mr. Hunt ASAP!!

Alachua County Schools Media Services also provides resources to help BOB teams prepare for competition: here is the link to the county BOB site! More resources will be added to that page as they become available.
