What children will learn
- Research facts from reliable sources
- Write clear questions and answers
- Learn about Australia, New Zealand and the world
You'll need
- Paper and pens
- Library books, an atlas or reliable websites for research
- A homemade trophy
How to do it
- Give each player a topic: capital cities, Australian or NZ landmarks, famous inventors, animals of the world, or history of your town.
- Each person researches and writes five questions with answers. Encourage checking facts in two places.
- Run the quiz with each person hosting their own round.
- Keep score and award the trophy. Finish by sharing the most surprising fact you learned.
Make it easier
Younger children can write picture-based questions (‘Which animal is this?’).
Make it harder
Include a ‘map round’ where players label places on a blank map.
Parent tip: Researching the questions is the learning; the quiz is the reward.
Fantastic work! Every little step helps you grow.
