Trivia the whole family can play

Family quiz questions need to be easy enough for a seven-year-old and still fun for the adults. The ones below are about things children meet every day: animals, colours and shapes, favourite films and characters, and a little about nature and the world around us.

Take turns reading a question, let everyone have a guess, and celebrate the right answers. There is no pressure to win, and the grown-ups often get the cartoon questions wrong, which makes it even better.

Ideas for playing together

Let the children be the quiz master and read the questions, or split into teams of children and adults. Give a point for each correct answer and a small prize at the end. The questions are short, so they also work for car rides, waiting in restaurants and rainy afternoons.

For a game where everyone plays on their own phone, Trivvy's family mode lets each player get questions at their own level, so a child can beat an adult. It works with one phone per player or one phone shared by several players, and children under thirteen turn the ads off for the whole table.
