AnonyMouse_64 Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 As you may know, I've been running the competitions since the end of last year. I try to vary the type of competitions we run so that there is something for everyone at some point. Inge came up with the suggestion for last months competition which got me thinking that perhaps a few more of you might have good ideas for future competitions. If so, I would love for you to share them with me and where possible I will endeavour to include them sometime. So don't be shy! Any suggestions anyone?

AnonyMouse_1999 Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Sorry if it's boring but I think good old general knowledge quizes take a lot of beating! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 (edited) How about naming favourite nursery rhymes/traditional tale/children's classics from criptic clues? Feeling small and angry I went to see my mothers mother but she was feeling shut in. Edited August 16, 2009 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 I quite enjoy writing limericks...oh, hang on a minute, we did that one... Anagrams are good fun, broad-based general knowledge quizzes are always a winner. How about name the football team from the nickname/name of ground etc? No, oh, OK then... Not much of a fan of these funny picture quiz things - I guess that says something about my learning style! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_4177 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Biccy, was that a clue? 'Cos I'm stuck already. Posyxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_379 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 My Dh suggests a caption competition.... either one or a set of photos... and best set of captions wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_4177 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Meant to say what about famous quotes like 'I have nothing to offer ...' (Winston Churchill -very famous one that I can't remember the end bit -something like 'blood, toil and tears'm but don't want to misqoute!)

AnonyMouse_64 Posted September 9, 2009 Author Share Posted September 9, 2009 I'm just bumping this up again to see if anyone has any more ideas! I'll be doing a quiz this month but between visitors, back to school, starting new job and first aid course I haven't had much free time this week!

AnonyMouse_8623 Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Most everyone watches TV, right? Well, those that get their paperwork done in time do!! How about a quiz to do with TV then. Guess the TV show. Guess the Soap. Which actor plays that character. What city is ER/House/Simpsons, etc etc based. Still thinking! (No that's not a TV show) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Eight tentacles on an octopus) I had one ages ago with nursery rhymes Yes, that's a good one. I remember a quiz of nursery rhymes which had only the initial letters of each word. Too easy for people in our profession I hear you say.....but my team of work colleagues struggled with several of the answers. Might be a good one!
