"Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?: Back to School" for the Nintendo Wii is a trivia game based on the popular television game show of the same name. Released in 2010, the game challenges players to answer a series of questions that test their knowledge in a variety of academic categories including math, geography, history, and science. The questions are designed to reflect the curriculum of a fifth-grade level, prompting players to recall their elementary school education. Hosted in the game by Jeff Foxworthy, the game's familiar format aims to capture the humor and challenges of the TV show, providing a fun and educational way for players of all ages to test their smarts.

In terms of gameplay, "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?: Back to School" uses the Wii's interactive capabilities to engage players in a virtual classroom setting. Players can select from several avatars and are aided by fifth-grader classmates, just as in the show. The game includes a feature that allows players to "peek" at their classmate's answer or "copy" it outright, adding strategic elements to the gameplay. Additionally, the pressure mounts as you advance through rounds, striving to win virtual money and ultimately claim the title of being smarter than a 5th grader. The incorporation of multiplayer mode lets families and friends play together, making it an enjoyable social experience as well as a test of knowledge.
