We have been doing these for a while now. We have quite a wide range of ages taking part so it can be tricky to set the questions. Some of us don’t know what LOL means and the younger ones don’t know their proverbs!

I think the best round we had was my DD’s. Who said this? Homer Simpson or Mr. Trump?
Last week my sister had us drawing car marques. Even awarded an extra point for artistic ability??‍♀️. As my artistic prowess is non existent I didn’t get extra points.
Have any of you got ideas for fun and slightly different rounds.
This week I’ve decided to get them to get them to guess what I’m making from a list of ingredients. So far I’ve got pancakes, SC pastry, meringues and Victoria sponge. 6 more to go

Q. A human rights activist who was a tennis champion?

My friends has passed one to me called “cheese or motorway service station “

PamelaJ1 Sun 28-Jun-20 07:42:35

We haven’t had that, thank you.

If you’re interested I could try aNd find it !

We let the littlies (7 & 9) do the quiz last week. It was hilarious as they had no idea what was a hard or easy question and had obviously just delve into books of little known facts!

Eg How many species of animals live in the rain forests?

Love the Cheese or Service Station Ides

PamelaJ1 Sun 28-Jun-20 08:08:24

Sounds very intriguing Lucca. Can I google it or did you make it up?
Ferret- think I’ll give yours a miss. My BinL queries almost every answer, particularly if he is wrong. He’d probably ask me to name all the animals and where I sourced the information.?

Lucca Sun 28-Jun-20 08:48:58

A friend sent it to me, I’ll try and see where I put it....

GrannyLaine Sun 28-Jun-20 08:51:04

We've had a few memorable ones. Strangely, a Bingo round is good - my DIL is a great mimic and hilarious as a caller. Identifying a cross section of 20 different chocolate bars is harder than you think. One week we had a round where we had 10 minutes to write a short song about life in lockdown and then sing it to everyone - I won that round for a rendition to the tune of "Row, row, row your boat"

Richard Osman’s weekly quizzes have some good rounds that anyone can have a go at. Such as Paint or Ain’t, where you’ve to decide whether something is an official paint colour or not. Mind Your Beeswax, anyone? Paint or Ain’t?

I was so intrigued by the Cheese or Service station idea, I had to look it up! Some fun ideas here.

A short one is to name 4 countries with only one vowel in names (y not being a vowel)
And 5 countries with no “closed” letters when written in capitals. ( so B and O and D etc are closed)

Lucca Sun 28-Jun-20 08:59:14

Does that list the cheese questions Grannylaine ?

GrannyLaine Sun 28-Jun-20 10:16:14

No, you have to devise them yourself Lucca. It also has some other good suggestions.

Volunteer77 Sun 28-Jun-20 10:17:46

We gave everyone a weetabix and the first to eat it without having a drink got 5 points!

Caro57 Sun 28-Jun-20 10:29:38

Finding items in the home......... bathroom theme - toothpaste etc., kitchen - items of cutlery etc.......

One I made up for a club had questions like: carry a cuppa, for T Mobile, A source of vitamin C - Orange which at the time local to Harrogate town centre. Another time I gave the club pens and paper with one line on them and groups of four had to make up a limerick starting with the given line. We really had a laugh some were so funny.

We’ve done turn yourself into a super hero with things you can find in 5mins. My niece won , she wrapped herself in towels and her super skill was to mop up after a flood. Not a list of questions so not sure if it was legal. Very funny though.

Mimi54 Sun 28-Jun-20 11:18:32
