Trivia questions are not just for adults. Kids can get in on the quick-thinking, brain-bending fun, too.
Laura Linn Knight, author of “Break Free from Reactive Parenting,” told TODAY Parents that trivia questions are a great way for the whole family to engage in critical thinking skills.
In her upcoming book, Knight helps parents and their children find ways to decrease the screen-time power struggle.
“Trivia can be a great way to involve and entertain the whole family,” Knight said. “Put away distractions from devices and make trivia fun, playful and an educational fit for whatever age your child is. “
Knight suggested a “popcorn and trivia night” to get kids excited.
“I have found it most effective to plan game nights and carve out this type of special family time ahead of time so that everyone can plan for it and make room in their busy day,” she told TODAY.
