Trivia Activities Can Be So Much Fun with Kids!
Dictionary.com defines trivia as:
matters or things that are very unimportant, inconsequential, or nonessential; trifles; trivialities
Sure, trivia is sometimes useless facts and figures.
But, trivia time with kids can also be full of opportunities to learn, explore, and discover wonderful new things!
This year, the boys and I are going to celebrate Trivia Day for a homeschool fun day. I curated this list of trivia for kids resources and invite you to join the fun.
To keep it simple, I suggest picking one or two resources per suggested activity which include:
- Free Sites
- Free Printables
You can always go back and do more if time permits. No sense of overplanning and feeling rushed 😉
