I’m on quiz number 5 and struggling for inspiration!

Jimmy Carr is doing a little 5 minute quiz each day, we are loving it. My sons are 17 and 14. I think he has done 6 so far, questions are at 6pm answers are at 8pm. Obviously you could google but we don't.

A lot of the questions are really good.

Name the 3 US states with 4 letters

Iowa, Ohio, Utah

Was just going to mention the Jimmy Carr quizzes - deffo worth borrowing a few of his questions!

Where is Jimmy Carr doing the quizzes?

Some good Qs by the way, I’ve just added a few to my list!

Name Henry VIII six wives and how they each died.

(You use a potato ricer to mash potato)

YouTube.

Crop some family photos and get them to name the person from their chin, foot or whatever. Change the picture to black and white to make it harder. You'd be surprised at how few people can even identify themselves!

What is a squirrels nest called?
A drey.

It's my specialist subject . There are hundreds. One point for each.

If you need a cheat sheet, this one is fairly complete. But if you're taking part in the quiz don't look until you're marking

Print out a map (could be your home town, a national map, continent or world map) and black out 20 place names. 1 point for each place identified.

I'm using Jetpunk. Hundreds of quizzes with a timer. If you are doing it remotely then you all could do the same quiz and show each other the answers you got right in the time given.

You could compile a quiz of chocolate bars and sweet adverts, recent ones and old ones, eg

Which sweet was advertised with the tune There's a moose loose around the hoose? Maynards Wine Gums

Which chocolate bar was full of eastern promise? Turkish Delight

What's the sweet you can eat between meals without ruining your appetite? Milky Way (yeah right)

There are loads of these. Google minimalist cartoon characters for more.
