Spring Family Trivia Questions
Spring is on it’s way, and honestly, it just puts everyone in a better mood. The days feel lighter, the flowers start popping up everywhere, and suddenly the kids want to be outside again (a small miracle). One of my favorite ways to enjoy spring as a family is with a good old trivia game. No screens, no pressure, just laughs, guessing, and a little friendly competition.
These spring family trivia questions are made for everyone. Kids, teens, parents, grandparents… nobody gets left out. I’ve broken them into fun sections so you can play a quick round after dinner, bring them out for a spring party, or use them for a classroom or family game night. And yes, answers are included because nobody wants an argument over Google mid-game.
Grab some snacks, maybe sit outside if the weather behaves, and enjoy these spring-themed trivia questions together.
