Get involved in our Virtual Family Quiz Night!

Nobody likes a test. So why not use a good old fashioned quiz to get your kids' brains working (not to mention keep them quiet for fifteen minutes...). Whether they love sport, history or they've been watching Frozen on repeat for the past few days, there's something for all kids here.

These questions are suitable for children between the ages of 7-11, but it might be good for other ages too! We recommend getting their friends or cousins involved virtually and forming family teams for a pub quiz style night that's fun for all ages. Just because you can't all be in the same house, doesn't mean you can't get creative and have a good time as a family.

A couple of apps you could use to do it with your friends are Zoom, FaceTime, Google Hangout, HouseParty, Teams all available through your phones app store.

Stop scrolling unless you're the quizmaster so you don't ruin it!
