Children's indoor games Trivia Quiz

Answer: Nose

All you have to do is remove items from inside the body cavity with a pair of tweezers without touching the side, set off the alarm, and light up the red nose.

The game of Operation first appeared in 1965 and was originally produced by Milton Bradley, who at the time were an American board game manufacturer, now no longer in business. In 1984, the American company Hasbro produced the game. Hasbro also produces the games Monopoly, My Little Pony, and Twister.

Answer: Draughts

In the UK, we call this game draughts, but in the US, it may be known as checkers. In the UK, black and white counters are popular, but other colours of counters are available. The game of drafts is for two players and involves strategy and tactics. The idea of the game is to get to the other side of the board while at the same time capturing your opponent's counters by jumping over them.

The game is based on a very old Arabic game dating back to the tenth century that was called Alquerque.

Answer: No

Simple game, but fun. This game has a transparent plastic tube with numerous plastic straws passing through the tube. Inside the tube are lots of marbles. The object of the game is that each player takes a turn removing one of the straws, hoping none of the marbles don't fall down. The player who has the fewest dropped marbles when the straws have all been used wins the game. The game was initially released in 1967.

Answer: Snakes and Ladders

In the UK, we call this game Snakes and Ladders; however, in the US, it is known as Chutes and Ladders. The game originated in India, and when it came to England, it was marketed as Snakes and Ladders. The concept is quite easy: you roll the dice, and whatever number is shown, you move your counter by the amount on the dice. If you land on the bottom of a ladder, you go up, and if you land on the top of the snake's head (or, in the US, a playground slide), you go down.

The winner is the one who reaches the top of the board.

Answer: True

The idea of this game is to just shout out snap if two identical cards can be seen at the same time. If the game is being played using playing cards, you share all the cards between the players. If only two people are playing, that's 26 cards each, as there are 52 cards in the pack. The more people play, the fewer cards you have.

The basic rules for the game are straightforward. All players simultaneously turn over the top card of their stack and places it on their discard pile for everyone to see. The first player to identify two matched cards shouts out "Snap!" and wins both heaps when a card is turned up that matches one that is already face up in another player's pile. The cards are then added by this player to the base of their face-down pile.

The game of snap was invented by John Jaques & Son in 1866, but with different cards; however, the principal was the same.

Answer: Interlocking pieces that form a picture

Jigsaws can be made from all sorts of materials, but wood and cardboard are popular choices. Generally speaking, jigsaws for younger children tend to have fewer, larger pieces. All the pieces are interlocking, and when finished, they will form a picture. The easiest way to do a jigsaw is to do the outside first with the straight edges and then fill in the middle.

Answer: True

It is a very simple game in principle. All you need to play this game is some paper and a couple of pencils. Two players take turns using X or O to mark the spaces in a three-by-three grid. The winner is the player who manages to arrange three of their X's or O's in a row, either horizontal, vertical, or diagonal.

In some games, nobody wins, so it's possible to get a draw. If both players play the best possible strategy, it will always be a draw.

Answer: Jenga

All you have to do is remove one of the blocks and place it at the top of the tower. As more of the blocks are removed, the tower will become unstable and will eventually collapse. The player who collapses the tower is the loser.

Leslie Scott invented the game of Jenga. The game first appeared at the Earls Court Toy Fair in 1982 with little success. In 1986, the game was licenced to the company Hasbro, Inc. With Hasbro behind the game, it became a massive success.

Answer: Jacks

In the basic game, the player tosses the ball into the air and tries to catch it, generally before it bounces, with one hand while picking up the jacks. The next player takes the turn if the current player fails. As you advance in the game, the difficulty increases: initially, you have to pick up one jack, then two at a time, then three, and finally, all the jacks need to be held in your hand until the ball is caught.

Answer: Connect Four

Connect Four is a game where players select a colour and then alternately drop coloured tokens into a grid that is suspended vertically and has six rows and seven columns. The tokens land in the lowest area of the column, falling straight down. Being the first player to line up four of their own tokens in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal fashion is the aim of the game.
