Trivia Activities Can Be So Much Fun with Kids!
Dictionary.com defines trivia as:
matters or things that are very unimportant, inconsequential, or nonessential; trifles; trivialities
Sure, trivia is sometimes useless facts and figures.
But, trivia time with kids can also be full of opportunities to learn, explore, and discover wonderful new things!
My five boys and I love trivia. We use books, games, and cards during meals for fun conversations. We even use trivia activities when we homeschool on-the-go for learning fun.
This year, the boys and I are going to celebrate Trivia Day for a homeschool fun day. I curated this list of trivia for kids resources and invite you to join the fun. And I'm so excited about these 5th grade trivia games!
To keep it simple, I suggest picking one or two resources per suggested activity which include:
- Games
- Books
- Free Sites
- Free Printables
- Videos
You can always go back and do more if time permits. No sense of overplanning and feeling rushed 😉
