Vintage Quiz Party Game

I’ve got another party game to share. This is one I made for a group of girls aged 11-13. It was during a ‘high tea’ party so I themed the questions to match the vintage theme of the party. I found this gorgeous chocolate tin in an op shop and thought it was perfect to hold the questions for the quiz.

The girls had to choose a buzzer sound before we started so they took it in turns to choose their sound. We had honk! meow! ptppp! eeerrp! buzzzz! … Each time I asked a question the first person to make the buzzer sound got to answer the question. That was the tricky bit for me as they were SO LOUD! and sometimes it was impossible to know who was first… but it was VERY FUNNY!
