Trains have a way of getting people talking. Many of our residents caught the train to school or work, waved family off from a busy platform, or sat up all night on a long journey with a thermos and a packet of sandwiches.
This Trains & Railway Journeys Quiz for Seniors has 20 multiple-choice questions about station life, steam engines, famous trains, and the songs and toys many of us grew up with. The questions suit groups in Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Canada, the USA and beyond.
How to Play
Read each question and the four choices slowly, then give the group plenty of time to think. Play in teams, as one big group, or just for fun. There is no need to keep score.
The printable A4 PDF has large print, one round per page, a separate answer page for the activity leader, and a page of reminiscing questions.
