How to Create a Pop Culture Quiz
First, decide on the format.
Will it be teams or individuals?
Consider the size of group.
Then determine the categories and number of questions.
Pop culture is broad, so choose areas that will interest your participants. Music and movies are classic categories.
Next, write engaging questions that aren’t too difficult. Include multiple choice answers with clear right response.
Vary the topics so they aren’t all focused on recent pop.
Mix in some retro questions as well.
