Get set up

Gather the required materials: Prepared questions; paper optional. Set them out before explaining the first round. Choose an indoor area where the group can participate without blocking walkways.

LET’S PLAY

Here’s how it works.

  1. Prepare several short categories.
  2. Split into mixed-age teams.
  3. Read one question at a time.
  4. Teams answer verbally or write responses.
  5. Score correct answers and rotate categories.

A few ground rules

Keep the agreed turn order, boundaries and timing consistent for everyone. Players may pass or use an accessibility adaptation without penalty.

Mix it up

Use a picture round, decade round or only general knowledge if family facts are not prepared.

Make it a great round

Mix easy and hard questions so children and adults both have moments to contribute.

Keep everyone comfortable

Use only family facts that people are comfortable sharing.
