This is a work in progress. Each week day at my school, we ask the children a trivia question. One right answer is randomly selected to pull an item from the prize box. I will begin posting the questions, for you to use without having to do the research, as quickly as I can. The questions are age appropriate for Kindergarten (although some not so easy) through sixth grade. Please do not hesitate to contact me with suggestions.

January is National Oatmeal Month. More oatmeal is eaten in January than any other month. Oats were thought to have been brought to the United States in 1602 and planted on islands off the coast of Massachuesetts. George Washington even planted oats. Oats are one of teh most important grains on earl. More oats are grown in Minnesota than any other state, but only 5% of the oats grown are used for human food consumption. Animals eat the rest! Can you guess which country produces more oats than the United States? Hint: Moscow is its capital.
Answer: Russia
