OK, got in now....have to maintain my lowly status, you know!!

Liz right now I have it set to ask questions from all the categories. If I select just one category (movies or sports or Canadiana for example) it would really limit the number of questions and there would be even more repeats.

Part of it is whether you want it as a competition, which can be problematic, or just plain fun. So what it there's a tie? Give them both a candy! You could have them raise their hands I guess if you wanted. Better yet, ring a (sleigh) bell, snap their fingers, say Ho-Ho-Ho or Merry Christmas or something, clap their hands, turn on a flashlight, kiss their partner or whatever the indicator would be. Could be something different for each too. We do trivia things often. And have questions that only the kids are allowed to answer unless they don't know them. Harry Potter, popular movies, cartoons, etc are great for the younger and they feel involved too. I wouldn't put a time limit on it except for when you end the game, then give the answers and enjoy watching people dope-slap themselves! Sometimes people help each other - it was that guy on whatever show that had the blank car, bla bla bla, and reminds someone and leads up to an answer. The candy part is usually more fun since many people can't resist... especially with a Christmas bell chocolate, a Hershey Kiss or something that would go quickly. Even a small Christmas cookie? The ones that answered the most would "win" because they got more candy, but there could be another prize of some sort too. Some like to go one step further, though I've never done it. They give a wrong answer prize too. A Hershey Kiss for a right answer, a mini carrot for an incorrect one, or a slice of beet, celery, turnip, raw potato or whatever. Part of the idea here is to get everyone involved, right or wrong and it promotes conversation and a lot of humor. Which was the heaviest reindeer? My mother-in-law! You know some of the obvious ones but some can be creative. Even a creativity prize for best laugh or something, give an extra candy for a "good answer" or a good try. Just have fun with it. You could even keep a few of the questions for a "lightning round" where 2-3 go head to head. How about posting your questions for a little trivia session here?

Thanks! I did add a 1 to my user name, and it worked. However, maybe I should change it to "Redface" because I only got 3 right! Thanks for the help anyway.
