50/50 (children's Game Show)

50/50 is a British children's game show that was broadcasted on BBC1. It was broadcast from 7 April 1997 to 12 July 2005. It has two schools in the UK put forward 50 students. Each child is given a number from 1–50 which they wear during the show, before each round a random number generator picks which students will take part in the next game.

One of the schools wear blue t-shirts and the other wears yellow. The colours were originally green and orange. They sit opposite each other in raised seating while the game takes place in between them. Most of the children will not get an opportunity to play in a game, but there are question rounds and observation rounds where points are won by the number of correct answers. The games usually consist of inflatable obstacle courses similar to those found in Get Your Own Back, Fun House and Run the Risk.

Famous quotes containing the word game:

    The indispensable ingredient of any game worth its salt is that the children themselves play it and, if not its sole authors, share in its creation. Watching TV’s ersatz battles is not the same thing at all. Children act out their emotions, they don’t talk them out and they don’t watch them out. Their imagination and their muscles need each other.
    Leontine Young (20th century)
