Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In this game, everyone sits in a circle and passes round a wrapped package while music plays. When it stops and you are holding it - you are lucky! What is this game?

Answer: Pass-the-parcel

Small presents that you might receive whilst shedding the layers might be: a yo-yo, sweets, jokes, etc. When most layers are gone, everyone gets excited about the big present in the middle! It could be a toy or a chocolate bar or anything!
2. When music plays, everyone dances, but when the music stops - everyone falls down onto the floor and the last one is out! What is this silly, funny game?

Answer: Musical Bumps or chairs

Make sure you don't hurt yourself when playing this game! Children of all ages might like these games, and it is a really fun game to play - except when you are caught out, of course.
3. Another musical game! However, this one is when you all dance to music, but when it stops this time, you have to freeze! The people who move, or fall over, are out, but it's a really funny game to play. What is it? Remember we are looking for the usual British name!

Answer: Musical statues

It is a really good game, much less painful than Musical Bumps! You need to have good balance to play this game, but it's fun all the same when you fall!
4. This game is when two people join hands and bring them up and down, singing a song. The children walk under their arms (like a bridge). But beware when they sing "Here comes the candle to light you to bed, here comes the chopper to chop off your head!" What is the name of this game?

Answer: oranges and lemons

"Chip chop, chip chop - the last man's dead!" This is when the two people making the bridge bring their arms down and trap someone! It is quite sinister - because the song is referring to people getting their head chopped off! It is a fun game to play with your friends at a party!
5. In this game, someone closes their eyes and counts to a certain number. Everyone then hides somewhere and the last one to be found is the winner! This game is called "Hide-and-seek". (True or false?)

Answer: True

It is also called "Hide-and-go-seek" and it's really hard to find a good hiding place, especially indoors! Places you can hide indoors are: the wardrobe, under your bed, behind the sofa and even more! It is easier to play outdoors, because you can hide flat in a bush or behind a tree!
6. In this game, someone is blindfolded and something is put in someone's hand. It's a tail with something sharp on the end! You are put in front of a wall. What do you have to do?

Answer: Pin the tail on the donkey

You can have anything on the pin! A tail, a tie to put on a picture of someone, or anything! You've got to be careful playing this game because you could hurt someone!
7. Children laugh and chatter encouraging words to a blindfolded person, holding a bat or a stick. He/she is swinging it in the air, trying to hit something dangling from the ceiling! It is more commonly known in the United States, but would insert some colour into British parties! What is being hit is called a Piņata.

Answer: True

It is usually filled with sweets (candy) and chocolate but in some cultures it is filled with fruit.
8. A game where everyone dies because someone is killing them! A person is responsible and it's for a detective to find out! Everyone sits in a circle and it's not obvious who is doing it. What is this game?

Answer: Wink Murder or "Killer"

It is more interestingly played in large groups and sometimes also played in schools too.
9. Which game's rules are: an object is passed round kids sitting in a circle and music plays. If you are holding the object when the music stops you are out?

Answer: Hot potato

The child who was holding (or last touched) the object is out. From this game, 'hot potato' is meant to mean something unwanted, and something to pass onto others.
10. This game is to do with obeying. But you only obey what the person (who is "It") says "____ ___". If you do it when they DO NOT, you are out! What

Answer: Simon says

"Simon says: touch your head" this is when it's ok to touch your head. "Touch your feet" alone is when you are caught out! The last person to be caught out is the winner! It is a variant of "May I?" which is when you must say "May I?" before doing anything you are told to do.
11. A really funny game. Someone pretends to be an animal, and the players must pat it, as it makes sounds. They must say "Poor ____, Poor ____, Poor _____" without laughing. What is the word that is blanked out?

Answer: pussy

The person who is playing the pussy has to meow three times and walks around like a cat. The object of the game is that they make everyone laugh, and the first person to laugh is the new pussy!
12. This game is usually played by teenagers, and is also used to start a game of "Truth or Dare" - what is this game?

Answer: Spin the bottle

Pictionary is when you draw a picture and everyone guesses what it is. Forbidden letter is when players decide on a letter that cannot be used in words from that moment onwards. Murder Mystery explains itself - and there are so many different ways to play this type of game.
13. In this game you need to find a seat! Quick - because when the music stops, and you don't find one, you're out!

Answer: Musical chairs

The chairs get taken away in every round. E.g., if there were 10 children playing, there would be 9 chairs. If there were chairs for every person it wouldn't be a game at all.
14. Blind Man's Buff is a form of Tig (Tag), but blindfolded. (True or false?)

Answer: True

Tig is when you try to catch the other players, which is like Blind Man's Buff, but you are blindfolded so you can't see them! You have to hear where they are.
15. Scavenger hunt is when _______. (Select the correct description.)

Answer: All players have to find certain objects

The first person/team to collect all objects wins! "Hunt the thimble" (or any other object) is another type of this game. (All players but one leave the room, and the remaining player hides a thimble and all players have to find it!)
