What’s included

  • 16 questions with space to write each answer
  • A separate answer sheet on page 2
  • Name and score boxes
  • 2 A4 pages, designed to print well in colour or black and white

How to play

  1. Print one question sheet per child or team. A grown-up keeps the answer sheet.
  2. Read the questions aloud for younger children.
  3. Read out the answers and give a point for each correct one.
  4. The highest score wins a piece of shortbread (everyone else gets one too).

Tips

  • Great for school Burns Night lessons and assemblies.
  • Show a picture of a unicorn on a Scottish coat of arms after question 4.
  • Pair it with the free Burns Night word search.

Printing tips

  • Print at 100% or “Actual size” rather than “Fit to page”, so nothing gets trimmed.
  • Everything is A4. If your printer only takes US Letter, choose “Fit to page” instead.
  • Thicker paper (120–160gsm) feels nicer to write on and survives a night out; plain 80gsm is fine too.
  • Black and white works: the designs are made to stay clear without colour.
