For 10 points (a very quick way to write a round!):

-Give ten historical events
-They put them in chronological order
-One point for each, but as soon as they get one wrong, they forfeit the rest of the points.
-They can leave events out if they're not sure (but that reduces their possible marks)

Sorry, for the last one it could also be La Cenerentola. But it's basically Cinderella in varying languages.

Give the actual names of ten titular fictional characters: eg The Merchant of Venice, Lady Chatterly’s Lover, Bodyguard, Interview with The Vampire, A Woman of No Importance, Iron Man and ask them to either name the book/play/film/TV show or match them up from a list depending on how difficult you want it to be. A nice format because you can easily match the questions to your family’s interests.
