Round 8 — World Cultures
📋 What it is
This round celebrates festivals, foods, and traditions from around the world (with respect — cultural symbols, never a stereotype).
🗣️ Coach says
Culture questions are a chance to share something joyful. Announce with respect and curiosity — never mock a tradition.
🧠 Memory hook
Diwali is the “festival of lights”; its symbol is the diya (a small lamp), not a flag.
😂 Giggle

"You really know how to hold the answer!"
😲 Whoa!
Lunar New Year is celebrated by more people than any other festival on Earth.
🎤 Which festival is known as the “festival of lights”, celebrated with small diya lamps?
You're the HOST — decide your answer and hold the card, then flip & announce. (Knowing it FIRST is what makes you the host, not a lucky guess.)
🃏 Your card: Diwali.
Diwali is the festival of lights; the diya lamp is its symbol.
🎙️ Contestant “Sure-Sam” buzzes in: “The festival of lights is Halloween!”
Sounds right? Halloween has lights and costumes — but the festival of lights is DIWALI. You held the real answer — you’re the host!
