Who this topic suits
Animals and Nature is the topic small children ask for again. It suits ages six and above, family groups, primary classes and nature clubs. The Easy round is about animals a child has seen or read about; the later rounds bring in birds, insects, sea life and some surprising habits.
Hosting tips
Let children act out the answer, or make the animal's sound, for a bonus point; it keeps the youngest players in the game even when the questions get harder. Many animals have more than one common name, so accept any name that plainly means the same animal. After the quiz, ask each child for their favourite new fact. Parents can turn the round into a game for a visit to a zoo, a park or a walk: who can spot something from tonight's questions?
