Use These Questions for a Christmas Quiz Night
For a short game, choose ten questions and appoint someone to read them aloud. Players can answer individually or form teams. Keep the correct answers hidden until everyone has written down a guess, then award one point for each correct response.
If you want a longer game, split your chosen questions into rounds and check the answers after each round. Keep a few unused questions in reserve in case the leading teams finish with the same score.
Play with or Without Multiple-Choice Options
Reading out the options makes it easier for everyone to join in, even when a question covers something unfamiliar. Give each player or team a chance to decide before revealing the answer.
For a tougher challenge, leave the options hidden and ask for answers from memory. Agree on the format before starting so everyone plays by the same rules.
