Why I Love Trivia Games

Trivia is a fun game that can help people know more about a topic in a fun way. I have used trivia with my kids to help them learn about a topic that they may not know much about. It is a fun enjoyable way to learn new things and in a way not even know you’re being taught something. I will take what I learned and talk to my friends about it the next day. It also gives you a healthy way to teach competition to your kids and learn good sportsmanship.

How To Play Trivia

First, find the trivia game you want to play, we have several to choose from.
Divide into even teams, make sure that not all the adults are on the same team and not all the little kids are on the same team.
Each team will take a turn answering a question that someone from the other team reads to them.
Each team gets a turn to answer the question. They take turns reading each other the questions and if they get it right they get the points.
When all the questions have been read off you total the scores and whoever has the most points wins.
