How to Print the Christmas Trivia PDF:

- Pages 2-3 can be printed double-sided as a 1-page trivia sheet. Print flipping on the long edge to print on both sides of the paper.
- Page 4 can be printed with all 50 questions on a single page, but the font may be hard for some to read.
- Pages 5-9 are sized for you to print and cut into strips.
How to Play this Christmas Trivia Game:
For the 1-page trivia questions, assign one person to read all the trivia questions, as the answer are on the same page. Play as individuals or create teams to compete taking turns answering questions.
For the trivia question slips, I recommend you print each page on a different color. Simply put in 5 different colored papers into your printer, then print!
Then, you can let everyone know the 5 unique categories and what color each category is. Have one person draw a question and let everyone else try to guess the answer!
The first to guess correctly gets to pick the next trivia question.
Most questions are easy for children of all ages but there are a few trickier questions in the mix for parents to join in on the fun!

You can get your copy of the PDF Christmas Trivia here! Or, click the link below. It will open up a PDF in a new window that you can print or save. Make sure you don’t have any pop-up blockers running or the new tab won’t be able to open.
I’ve also added a fun and colorful version for the individual tags page with a background of bright and fun colored snowflakes! If you want something a little more cheerful, and don’t mind printing in color, you can try this printable instead! It does also use a larger font.
If you are planning to printed on colored paper (like red or green) then I would stick with the non-snowflake version above. 🙂
