The News Quiz


Equipment

Multiple copies of any newspaper (one for each team plus one for yourself)
A good strong voice!

Game Description

Give each team a copy of the same newspaper (keeping one for yourself).

Call out questions and also where the answer is in the newspaper (a headline, the price of a car from a certain garage, what time a certain TV programme is on, a telephone number for the weatherline etc).

The first team to get the answer wins a point, the team with the most points wins.

This is a good filler game, so keep a few newspapers handy.

A tip for the teams is to split the papers up and spread them out - and then the first team to get it back into order get an extra points (a good way to get them to tidy up afterwards!)
