Aother one of the popular “An ‘A’ in…” series this time testing your knowledge of literature. 25 questions the answers of which are names of authors, their books or characters al beginning with the letter “A”. I have deliberately put a few easy ones in this quiz but I also have added a couple of what I consider a few real ‘stinkers’. See how many you can get.
An A in Literature. QUESTIONS. ANSWERS.
This idea completely stolen from TV’s “Only Connect” gives you titles of famous (and some not so famous) Christmas Carols but with the vowels removed and spaced in blocks of 4s or 5s. All you have to do is identify the names of the carols. Unlie the TV version there is no time constraint so take as long as you like. Good luck.
MISSING VOWELS. QUESTIONS. ANSWERS.
In this picture round I have taken photos of 12 items that are commonly found around the house at Christmas, well certainly in MY house. All you have to do is identify these objects. Good Luck.
CLOSE-UP CHRISTMAS QUESTIONS. ANSWERS.
How much do you know about events that took place over the Christmas period throughout the years?
Well in this quiz we will find out, I have listed 25 events that took place from Christmas Day to New Years Day in years from 1066 to 2006 and all you have to do is to link the events with the years (which I have kindly supplied). As always with my quizzes some of the answers you will find easy but others may cause a little “head scratching”. Good luck.
CHRISTMAS DATES. QUESTIONS. ANSWERS.
In this Christmas quiz I give you three apparently unconnected items or words and you have to find the connection. Either the words (or one of them) or the connection is Christmas related although sometimes this may be a bit tenuous!! Good luck it should keep you occupied over the Christmas period.
Following on from Geography and Science is my new quiz, an A in History. Here all the questions relate to a person, event or place in history and all the answers begin with the letter A.
An A in History. QUESTIONS. ANSWERS.
Following on from the recent side-kicks quiz I have devised this “Archenemy” quiz in a similar vein. In this quiz I name the archenemy and you have to identify the hero from the list provided. As always you will find some of these very easy but others may prove a little trickier. Best of luck!!!
ARCHENEMIES. QUESTIONS. ANSWERS.
Animals always play an intricate part in works of fiction, be it movies, books or TV, but can you remember their names? Some of these animals are pets whilst others are working animals and some are real animals wile others are legendary creatures. I think there is a good mixture here and you might need the help of your children for some of them!
ANIMALS IN FICTION. QUESTIONS. ANSWERS.
Can you name the famous puppets (either stringed or hand) that are in the following pictures? Some are fairly old while others are a little more modern. Good luck!!
FAMOUS PUPPETS. QUESTIONS. ANSWERS.
