[Fun!] Quizzes That Liven Up a Christmas Party (1–10)
4 trivia facts about Christmas
This video presents trivia about Christmas in a quiz format—facts you don’t really need to know for the upcoming holiday season, but that could make for great conversation if you do.
It covers topics like why we eat chicken at Christmas, the reason Santa’s outfit is red, the history behind everyone’s favorite Christmas cake, the origin of the ornaments we hang on trees, and more.
If any of that piques your interest, be sure to watch the video and brush up on your Christmas knowledge.
Matchstick Quiz
These are math puzzles that both adults and children can enjoy together at Christmas.
The challenges include things like moving only four matchsticks to turn five squares made of matches into six, or, after one matchstick has been stolen from a fence-like arrangement of thirteen matches, using the remaining twelve to make six identical fences.
By moving a certain number of matchsticks, you transform the figures on the spot—testing quick thinking, creativity, and flexible reasoning.
There are three puzzles in total, and they’re tough to solve with a rigid mindset.
Challenging Christmas Quiz
If it’s a Christmas party for a well-read crowd, I recommend a tough Christmas quiz.
The questions mainly deal with Christmas culture.
For example, something like, “Why is December 24th Christmas Eve and December 25th Christmas?” Honestly, I think not many people can answer, so it might fall a bit flat at a regular party.
But it could be fun for a family quiz—assuming most answers will be wrong—since it can also be educational for kids.
Christmas riddles
At Christmas, we throw parties, feast on special dishes, and receive presents.
When December arrives, many children look forward to Christmas.
So here are some Christmas riddles that are perfect for holiday events.
These questions focus on things you often see during the Christmas season and items related to Christmas.
Riddles have a twist in the wording.
Encourage children to think from various perspectives and work through them by exploring different ideas.
They’re sure to liven up any Christmas event.
Christmas Song Quiz
A Christmas song quiz is recommended for Christmas parties with several adults.
There are many famous Christmas songs in both Japanese and Western music, but since many of them are older, it might be a bit difficult for children who only know a small number of nursery songs or recent hits.
Also, because many well-known Christmas songs are jazz, it may be a bit challenging for those without jazz knowledge.
It’s a fairly high-difficulty activity, but why not enjoy it as a “stylish pastime for grown-ups”?
Winter Multiple-Choice Quiz
Quizzes are fun no matter what they’re about, but how about narrowing down the theme? Since Christmas is in winter, running quizzes related to winter or Christmas could help everyone learn more, feel satisfied, and have a great time.
And even for those who can’t think of any answers at all, multiple-choice quizzes with three or four options are highly recommended because they let you enjoy them just like everyone else.
The quiz maker might also boost their own knowledge and raise their intellectual level while coming up with questions!
Brand Name Quiz
Here’s a brand-name quiz you can probably run with almost no prep—as long as you have a whiteboard.
You’ll likely encounter plenty of brand names that sound familiar but whose spellings you never knew.
Instead of showing the logos, quizzing only on the spellings should make it more challenging.
Even if you get an answer wrong, take the opportunity to learn the spellings and pronunciations of luxury brands.
Conversely, a question that asks participants to write the original spelling could also liven things up.
Intro Quiz
For your Christmas party, what kind of gathering will it be? Many people probably get together with others who share the same hobbies, but if it’s a party for fans of the same artist or idol, how about livening things up with an “intro quiz”? Since everyone there loves the same music, there’s no way anyone would get it wrong… right? If you do, you’ll probably never hear the end of it afterward, so you can’t help but be extra careful (lol).
Adding a penalty game for wrong answers could make it even more exciting.
Brain Training Workbook
IQ tests are great for people of all ages—from young children to the elderly—because the act of thinking helps keep the brain flexible.
Even problems that seem a bit difficult can suddenly become easy if you just change your angle of approach, so try attacking them from different directions.
Let’s stimulate our minds by using lots of brain functions we don’t usually use.
If those who figure out the answer quietly tell the quizmaster rather than announcing it, everyone can enjoy the challenge for a longer time.
Try getting creative with how you approach it.
A Collection of Tricky Questions
If you’re looking for a game everyone can enjoy, trick questions/brain teasers are a great choice.
Depending on the questions, adults and children can have fun together at a certain level, so they’re recommended for family Christmas parties.
As for the number of questions, you can find as many as you like online, so there’s no need to worry.
However, many trick or trick-around questions are quite easy, so if your goal is to liven up the party, it might be worth taking the time to carefully select the questions.
