60+ Awesome Trivia Questions for Kids (and Answers) to Incorporate Into Your Weekly Schedule
Consider a trivia night instead of family game night, or start a new weekly tradition with these trivia questions for kids.
I’ve curated a list of trivia questions that will challenge kids of all ages and skill levels and organized them by difficulty level. Kids could choose their question difficulty, or they could draw to determine what type of question they receive.
You can even take these questions and make it into a trivia quiz for kids.
Don’t forget to add music and a time limit to help spice up the game and draw even those most reluctant into the fun. To boost the brain power necessary, you could also require older kids to spell their answer.
Either way, you’ll likely be blown away by the unexpected tidbits your little ones have picked up! These also make excellent road trip games.
