Office Xmas Quiz

aj9648

I am doing the office xmas quiz this year down the local pub......

Just trying to pull q's together and sounds a bit boring calling all of it out for half an hour.....

Any ideas/inspiration of what I could do different? (I am thinking of getting people to get up and do something as well a quiz but cant think of anything without patronising/offending them)!!!

Thanks

You could do quiz bingo.

Give everyone an answer sheet with all the answer numbers arranged randomly in grid format. Get someone to draw out the questions from a bag or something. The first person to get a line of correct answers wins.

How about a Christmas music round to break it up a bit - maybe with bonus points for people who will get up and sing? Or depending on how long it is and what you can get hold of give each team a box of crafty items/cheesy dress clothes etc and have a prize for whoever makes the best/tackiest Christmas outfit.

Cut and paste photos of celebs etc from images on internet onto A4 sheet of paper in Word for each participant or team (maybe about 20 celebs)
Do quite a few obscure ones, and it will be a good talking point for teams. Plus you won;t have to listen to yourself for half an hour.

This is always my favourite round! You can get people from politics, music, film, tv... All sorts. We had one which was... "When they were young" - but that involves rather a bit more research for you.

Or how about - movie posters / DVD covers and take away the titles, see if they can remember the film names.
There was another with movie tag lines... eg "In Space, noone can hear you scream" ... for Alien.
Google "movie taglines" and I'm sure there are a few sites with lists of them.

This is very random, but once I did a taste test as part of a quiz. There were 5 rounds, and you selected a team member for each. 1st round was 4 cups of coke, 4 brands (Coca Cola, Pepsi, Tesco's Own and Lidl's own... something like that) You had to taste them all and put the right brand by the right product.
You could make it christmassy by testing... mince pies (obviously not a whole one each!), cranberry sauce (Taste the Difference vs Basics), even chocolates? At least then it gets everyone motivated - everyone loves eating !!!

We went to a quiz once and they gave every team 2 different colours of plasticine and they gave them a scenario to make. They had Roy and Hayley from Coronation Street. The results were hilarous. It was judged by some impartial people, you could use the people who are working behind the bar to judge maybe? and give people some sort of christmassy scenario to create.

I quite like this idea - anymore like this?

My cousin's OH introduced a new game to us a few years ago. Get copies (enough for 1 per team) of a local paper that is NOT your local paper. Then ask various questions ie what page number can such and such be found? Or, what is the telephone number for such and such garage?

We recently had to do a work quiz. Everybody in each team was numbered 1 to 7 then in between each round as we marked the questions we called out a number from each team to do a forfeit. So one person from each team had the opportunity to try and get 'bonus' points for their team. We went along the theme of Bush Tucker trials as I'm a Celebrity was on - we ordered edible bugs from the internet and the person that ate theirs the quickest won. We also did things like eat a chili, pick a marshmallow out of custard covered in rice crispies, eat two dry weetabix etc etc.
It was really good fun and every took part. ;o)
