Family Trivia
Send a questionnaire to all family members before the reunion so you can collect information. This will help you compile the list of trivia questions to ask during the reunion.
During the gathering, split the group into several teams--the size and amount of teams will depend on how large your family is. You can do this Jeopardy-style or take turns asking each team questions like in traditional trivial pursuit.
You can create categories such as:
- Love and Marriage
- Work Life
- Sports
- Art and History
- Middle Names
- Detention (what different people have gotten in trouble for over the years--stick to minor, funny offenses)
And here are some sample trivia questions:
- Grandma came to the U.S. in what year?
- Uncle Jack played soccer for which Division I college team?
- Someone in this group has always wanted to be an astronaut. Who is it?
Charades
You can play with a traditional game set or come up with your own list of things to act out. If you want to create the cards yourself, have everyone in the group write the following little pieces of paper:
- One movie
- One famous person
- One phrase
- One book
- One Activity
