Holiday Trivia Game

NEEDED TO PLAY: PowerPoint. I created the game in PowerPoint 2016, but I also included a converted version of the game that will open in older versions of PowerPoint. Opening in the correct version of PowerPoint is especially important to making the dollar amounts disappear from the game board when clicked.

Sample questions:

• In How the Grinch Stole Christmas, what does The Grinch use for his reindeer?
• Finish this famous Christmas carol: “And since we’ve no place to go…”
• What article of clothing causes Frosty to “begin to dance around”?

What’s editable? Nearly all the text is editable. Images are public domain and fully-editable and movable.

What’s not editable? The only slide that is not fully-editable is the game board slide (Slide #4). The game board artwork is original and has been flattened. You can still edit the game board categories and dollar amounts.

IMPORTANT TIP: Though you can add, reorder, or delete slides, I recommend you make these kinds of changes very carefully. Adding, deleting, or reordering slides could easily alter the slide links within the game (for example, the green HOME button will link to the wrong page if you add, reorder, or delete slides).

Difficulty: Some questions are very easy, and others are more difficult. I recommend this for Grades 5-8. They are most likely to have seen the movies (which are on TV every year), heard the songs, and be aware of some holiday foods and traditions from other cultures.

The five categories each contain five questions. The categories are:

• Movies
• Songs
• Traditions (includes Hanukkah and Kwanzaa)
• Food
• Potpourri (miscellaneous category)
