Not so Trivial Pursuit

As a homeschool mom I am always looking for an easier way to teach my boys.

If they have no clue they are learning, even better!

Not so Trivial Pursuit ~Danielle Huddleston PhotographyI picked up three sets of Professor Noggin’s Card Games at Hobby Lobby and knew right away I wanted to use them with our Trivial Pursuit Game.

When I went to get the game I realized we have three versions of Trivial Pursuit.

Why?

I have no clue…

So to win you needed to get two orange(science), two pink(Human Body), and two blue(Presidents).

They smoked me…

I kept saying, “Wow! Who is their teacher? She is amazing!” to my husband.

He does this for any game(even cards) but I am going to take it as a sign he liked it.

To win you get all the pieces, get in the middle, and then answer a question from any category.

Do you have a trivial pursuit game lying around(or three)?

This is a great way to have fun while learning!
