Grad Trivia Questions

I created these Grad Trivia Questions for my son’s college graduation party. My goal was to give each guest a reason to interact with the graduate and answer a trivia question. I simply left the trivia cards on a table and let guests pick whichever trivia card they’d like to answer. Quite a few people participated, and it was a great excuse for each guest to talk to the graduate!

Why You Should Use These Grad Trivia Questions

These Grad Trivia Questions are a fun way to get guests interacting with the graduate instead of simply dropping off a card and leaving. They work well for both high school and college graduation parties, can be used for open house or group-style events, and are an easy way to add entertainment without a lot of planning. Plus, guests love learning fun facts about the graduate and testing how well they know them!

The thing I liked most about these trivia questions was that they gave guests an easy excuse to walk up and talk to my son. At open-house style graduation parties, it can be easy for guests to come and go quickly without talking to many people, but this encouraged more conversation.

Trivia Questions

The great thing about these questions is that you can pick and choose the ones that make the most sense for your graduate! Because they come in a card format, this is easy to do.
