The Ultimate Guide to Hosting a Fun and Educational Homeschool Root Beer Pub and Trivia Night
Hosting an at-home root beer pub party and trivia night can be a fun and memorable way to celebrate a holiday or study a particular topic. Here are some steps to help you plan an awesome family night or homeschool event.
1. Choose a Theme
First, choose your theme or topic. Are you wanting to help students review for a test? Are you celebratig a holiday? Is it a book club party? Choose a theme that goes with your trivia topic.
2. Prepare the Trivia Game
Next, prepare your trivia game. You have some options:
- Create your own categories and questions or download them online.
- Play game show style (where teams or individuals will buzz in with answers) or have everyone write their answers down and tally up points at the end of the game.
Tips:
- Keep ages and interests in mind. Vary the categories to suit the participants.
- Consider offering prizes to the winners. This can be something small or silly but will add to the fun.
3. Set the Mood
Add some ambiance to your root beer pub by creating a cozy atmosphere with soft lighting and music. Include some decorations if you’d like. If you happen to have a dartboard, it will make a great decoration and an activity the pubgoers can enjoy.
4. Plan the Menu
You can serve simple snacks or a full meal. Keep with your theme. If you are going with a traditional pub, consider fish and chips or shepherd’s pie. Or keep it simple and set out a bowl of pretzels. And don’t forget the root beers!
