General knowledge quiz: round 1

What’s included

• 15 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. Split into teams of four to six and give each team a question sheet and a pen.
2. The quizmaster reads each question aloud twice, or teams work through the sheet in a set time.
3. Swap sheets between teams for marking while the quizmaster reads out the answers.
4. A point for each correct answer. Add the round scores to your scoreboard.

Tips

• Print the answer sheet (page two) for the quizmaster only.
• Rounds 2, 3 and 4 are also free, so you can run a full general knowledge quiz.
• Set a two-minute limit after the last question so teams can finish.

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.
