I tried really hard...
Firstly , I cut out selections with entertainment issues from Komsomolskaya Pravda for several years in a row. To be honest, all this is available in electronic form on the website kp.ru, but I saved your time, since I took 1-2 good questions from each collection. Secondly , I wrote down the most successful and understandable questions for a family holiday, so that adults, children and teenagers could play on the same team. Thirdly , I conveniently formatted the questions for the quiz with answers so that the host simply opened my article on his tablet and held an intellectual party for family and friends. In the left column are questions. On the right are the answers. Easily!
If you need to organize and conduct a cool game with our professional presenters, interesting questions, sound design and props, look at the entire list of intellectual programs (“Crystal Owl”, “KinoQuiz”, “Brain Ring”, “Guess the Melody”, “Sixth Sense” , “Entertaining biathlon”, etc.!) We work in Moscow.
What occasion is the idea suitable for?
These questions are not for children (there is another selection for children 8-12 years old), but they are quite simple. The quiz can be held at a family holiday when several generations get together (birthday, anniversary, wedding anniversary, New Year, March 8, February 23). The questions would also be suitable for a high school fun activity.
Team tournament
Option 1: Divide your guests into 2 teams. If there are a lot of people and you have more than 2 teams of 6 people, make three, four or five teams. The fact is that the answers do not need to be shouted or voiced after 60 seconds, but written on forms. This makes it easier to prevent chaos. The presenter will read out the correct answers when he receives the forms from all teams.
Each correct answer earns one point.
Option 2. This style of play can sometimes be seen in the favorite “What? Where? When?”, when it is difficult to determine the leader for the final. One team sits at the gaming table, the rest stand around. The team plays until the first loss. Stands up and gives way to the other team. In the end, the team that was at the table on the final question wins.
Don’t forget that players will need a tea break (or a serious gastronomic break), a music or dance break, and prizes to reward the best (fun, artistic, beautiful, small) player.
