Three kinds of picture round
Name the object is the easy tier: a nutcracker, a pomander, a wassail bowl, a cracker. Riddle pictures are harder, where two or three small drawings combine into a carol title or a tradition. Cross sections are the awkward ones, like a mince pie or a Christmas pudding cut in half, which look very different to how people picture them.
The mix setting gives you a spread of all three, which keeps a group of mixed ages engaged. A round of twenty all-riddles tends to stall after about eight.
Drawn rather than collected
Picture rounds usually mean a page of images pulled off the internet, which is both a copyright problem and a quality problem once printed in greyscale. Every drawing here is vector line art generated on the page, so it prints cleanly in black and white and you can hand it out freely.
That also means the pictures scale. Print at A3 and prop it up for a large group rather than printing forty copies.
Scoring
Half marks for a near answer are worth agreeing before you start, because picture rounds generate more borderline answers than text questions. The answer sheet gives the intended answer plus the common near miss for each one, so you can decide consistently.
Questions
- What is on a Christmas picture quiz sheet?
- Twenty numbered line drawings: everyday festive objects to name, visual riddles that spell out a carol or tradition, and festive food drawn in cross section.
- Are the pictures copied from elsewhere?
- No. Every drawing is vector line art generated on the page, so it prints cleanly in greyscale and you can hand the sheet out at any event without a copyright concern.
- Can I print it large for a group?
- Yes. The drawings are vector, so A3 is sharp and lets you prop one copy up for a room instead of printing forty.
- Does it come with answers?
- Yes. The answer sheet gives the intended answer for each picture plus the common near miss, so you can score borderline answers consistently.
