Quizzes, be they online, Zoom, virtual, or real-life are all the rage lately for a family game night involving adults, plus some trivia questions for kids. We recently had loads of fun with a family quiz night with our lovely friends in a different hemisphere. We now have to write quiz questions for them, so we thought we’d share our “Are You Well-Travelled?” quiz. Child and family-friendly travel trivia quiz questions below. We include a printable PDF and answers along with a list of trivia quiz questions.

Are You Well Travelled Quiz

Extensive travel and worldschooling certainly makes a person very useful on a quiz team. General knowledge in history, politics, religions, and geography are some of the many things we learn through travel. Let us know in the comments how you do in our family quiz. Some questions are very easy, perfect for kids, some may be a little tricky depending on your travel and general knowledge. I got one wrong, it says which in the quiz.

We tried to get a bit creative and really target this quiz at travel families, so it’s a bit more international than just “What’s the world’s largest ocean?” This is more for people who’ve seen a pride of lions in Africa than those who have simply watched The Lion King, but give it a go, it’s just for fun and my kids got involved in writing these questions too.

The answers are hidden, but you can access them towards the end of the post. Make a note of your answers on paper or have a family quiz game. The questions and answers are on a printable PDF or you can view them on your screen.

  1. I did quite well, but was puzzled with Switzerland being considered a Third World- country ! Of course, the definition of “third world” has changed quite a bit and
    It’s like “awful” : in Old English ‘awful’ and ‘awesome’ were synonymous with awe-inspiring.
    Another one is ‘flirt’ : The original (16th century)verb sense was to ‘give someone a sharp blow’ and ‘sneer at’. The word took on a playful, cheeky meaning much later.

    All this, just to say that I consider me answering ‘No’ to question 14, still owes me one point 🙂 !!
