Christmas Trivia Game 60 Questions 4 Rounds Answer Sheets Grades 3-6

About this resource

A Christmas trivia game you can run with paper, scissors and a pencil: no device, no screen, no login. Print it, cut the cards, make teams, and play one round or all four. The questions are plain facts about customs around the world, winter, songs, symbols and treats, written for grades 3-6, and every question is multiple choice (or true or false) so teams can talk it over and write one answer.

How A Game Goes

Teams of 3 or 4 pick a name. You read a card aloud, teams talk it over quietly and write their answer on the numbered line. After 15 questions, read the answers from the key and let teams check each other's sheets. Each right answer and each bonus card is 1 point; the most points in the whole game is 64. Round 2 (Winter Facts) works well on its own if Christmas is not part of your class.

Cutting That Is Easy For Students

Every card page has 8 cards edge to edge in 2 columns of 4, so each cut is a straight line. Cards are 3.8 by 2.2 inches. Print on card stock to keep the cards for next year.

What This Is, And What It Is Not

A print-and-cut PDF game. It is not a fillable PDF, a slide show or a game board with a device: nothing to project, nothing to log in to. It does not teach religious beliefs; the questions are facts about customs, songs, places and winter. The clip art kids on the teacher pages are Whimsy Clips and the fonts are KA Fonts; the file is secured so the art cannot be lifted out of it.

Who This Is For

Teachers in grades 3-6 (and special education teachers working at that level) who want a December party game, a sub plan, an indoor-recess activity or a center that needs no prep beyond cutting.
