ABC Quiz #1

This Is a Printable General Topics Quiz with Multiple Choice Answers

Short Description:

The questions in this general knowledge quiz are multiple-choice with three possible answers being given. If you don’t want to see the options, put a sheet of paper below the printed worksheet question. When you have thought of an answer, move the paper down to see if it is among the choices.

Directions for Caregivers:

If the person you are with has good general knowledge, ask the question first, wait a few seconds and then, if they don’t know the answer, give them the answer options. Make it a social activity where you do it together.

You can stretch this activity further by introducing some reminiscing. If a question is about food, a country, etc., have a little chat about it before moving to the next question.

Quizzes don’t have to be competitive; the main objective is to have fun. If you want to be more serious about it, make teams of equal ability and have a quiz competition.

If you have different abilities within the group, always ask the participants not to answer until all the answer options are read out. That will give everyone a chance to share their opinion, not just the fast thinkers.

Stress that it is not a competition. Encourage guessing the answer even if the participant doesn’t know it. You can also give two instead of three options if you want to make it easier. The objective is inclusive, active participation where nobody feels silly for getting it wrong.

Use this general knowledge quiz as an opportunity to reminisce about the different topics in the questions.

About this Activity

Here are some interesting facts from our general knowledge quiz: 

  • Ostriches have three stomachs.

  • Unlike all other living birds, the ostrich secretes urine separately from feces

  • Ostriches are the fastest runners of any bird or other two-legged animal. They can sprint at over 70 km/hr, covering up to 5m in a single stride.

  • In some African countries, people race each other on the back of ostriches with special saddles, reins, and bits.

  • Lacking teeth, ostriches swallow pebbles to grind their food. An adult ostrich carries about 1kg of stones at any one time.
