How to Play Trivia Questions for Teens

There are so many ways to play trivia games. The great thing about them is that you can decide how you play each time.

Play in teams or one-on-one. Gather your family or friends together. Get a paper and pen to keep score. Go down the list off of this post OR print out the cards for future use and randomly select.

Team A picks a question and reads it to Team B. Set a timer if you like to add an extra challenge. If correct, tally it. If incorrect, switch.

Another way to play would be to have a mediator who reads the questions and knows the answers. This would give the second team a chance to answer the question if it’s answered incorrectly by the first team. However you choose to play, it will be fun!

Looking for more fun trivia questions? Be sure to test your knowledge with National Park Trivia and Geography Trivia! If you have younger kids pull out our middle school trivia or our 4th grade trivia questions as well!
