# Easter True or False Trivia

Participants vote true or false on global Easter customs, candy history, and folklore statements read aloud by the facilitator. Individuals or small pairs tally their correct guesses across ten rounds.

**Time:** 15 minutes. UWT suggested 15-minute pacing for a 10-question set, scoring, and brief conversation.
**People:** 4 to 24. Individual voting or pairs

## Choose this exercise

**Purpose:** Test common knowledge and introduce cross-cultural holiday traditions through rapid true-or-false voting.
**Use it when:** Use as a light seasonal opener or social transition during spring gatherings, classroom sessions, or holiday socials.
**Skip it when:** Skip in settings where religious or holiday-themed content is out of place, or when the group needs to work on serious task-oriented planning.

## Materials and tools

- One printed question sheet for the facilitator
- One blank slip of paper and pen per person or pair to track scores (optional)

## Before participants arrive

1. Select 10 statements from the provided question bank.
2. Ensure all participants can see the facilitator and signal with hands or voting cards.

## Say this to open

We are going to do a quick ten-question round of Easter trivia covering candy facts and traditions around the world. For each statement I read, give a thumbs up for True or a thumbs down for False. You can keep track of your own score on paper, or you can just play along for fun.

## How to run it

### 1. Introduce rules and response signals (2 minutes)

Explain the voting signals: thumbs up indicates True, thumbs down indicates False. State that keeping a tally of points is optional. Anyone who prefers not to guess can observe without penalty.

### 2. Run statements one through five (5 minutes)

Read statement 1 clearly. Give participants 5 seconds to show their vote. Announce the official answer and read the brief context note. Give participants a moment to mark a point if tracking scores. Repeat for statements 2 through 5.

### 3. Run statements six through ten (5 minutes)

Read statements 6 through 10 in the same format: state the fact, call for votes, reveal the answer, and read the one-sentence explanation.

### 4. Check scores and debrief (3 minutes)

Ask by show of hands who scored in various point ranges. Ask one or two debrief questions about surprising facts. Hear from two or three volunteers within the remaining time.


## Debrief questions

- Which custom or historical fact surprised you the most?
- What regional or family tradition did this set remind you of?

**Finished output:** Completed 10-question trivia game with optional personal scores.

## Remote

Run via video meeting. Facilitator reads the statement or pastes it into the chat. Participants vote using digital thumbs-up/thumbs-down reactions, typing 'T' or 'F' into the chat on a countdown, or holding their hand to the camera.

## Hybrid

The facilitator reads each question aloud and ensures it is displayed in the meeting chat for remote players. In-room players vote with hand signals while remote players use video reactions or chat. The facilitator calls out the split across both audiences before reading the answer.

## Access and participation choices

- Offer both verbal reading and written text (chat or slide) for every question.
- Scoring and public voting are optional; participants may simply listen or write answers down privately.

## If the session gets stuck

**Participants wait to see how others vote before raising their hands.**

Count down '3, 2, 1, vote' and instruct everyone to show their sign simultaneously, or have people close their eyes during the vote.

**Disagreements arise over calendar rules or specific wording.**

Acknowledge variations across calendar systems or denominations, keep the atmosphere light, and accept alternate answers for credit if supported.
