Family Quiz Questions

How about organising a family quiz to find out more about your Dad or Grandad? It's a great chance to get to know them better.

If the grandchildren are asking the questions they'll feel even more involved.

This quiz works well on a video call and is a good way of including grandparents who sometimes struggle to hear on these kind of calls, making them the centre of attention, with everyone listening to them. Don’t forget to record the answers through audio, writing them down or video, this quiz will become a cherished memory.

If you'd like the questions in a Word document please email me: info@elizabethstraw.com
