HollysHome Family Life: Harry Potter Trivia Game

This game is based off of an old game that I used to play with my seminary students called "Scripture Man." I updated the gameboard a few years ago. Then I thought that since I went to the trouble of making a new board, maybe I could adapt the game to use for other subjects.

Our family loves Harry Potter so I thought I would make a Harry Potter version. You can use any set of questions. There are so many places on the web with questions. You can use those, make up your own, or I have an easy set of questions for your convenience (below).

Harry Potter Trivia Game Answer Sheet

Each player receives a copy of the scoreboard/answer sheet below.

To play the game have the players fill in the grid on their answer sheet with the appropriate number of items listed across the top of the board. They will need to draw one snitch, two wands, three broomsticks, four house elves, etc. Here is an example:

After the players have drawn the pictures (example above) then you start asking questions. After each question you pick a coordinate out of a sack (coordinate squares are on the instruction sheet below).

Game Playing Example:

Players write the number of points they get for the the picture in the coordinate that was called. If they get the answer wrong they get a zero, except if their drawing is negative points (a spider or the dementor). Then they have to take off that many points. Repeat the process for all twenty questions. Have the players keep a running total of their points. It makes the game more fun and competitive.

Since the game has 20 questions instead of 25 (the number of drawings in the coordinates) it makes the game a little more competitive because not every square's points will be used for the final score.

The player with the most points at the end wins!
