How to run a quiz at home
- Ten questions at a time. A short quiz at dinner or in the car works better than all 100 in one go.
- Take turns. Let your child read a question to you too. Kids remember the answers they get to ask.
- Talk about the answer. One extra fact (“the tiger is also India’s national animal”) makes it stick.
- Come back to the misses. Ask the questions your child got wrong again a few days later.

Frequently asked questions
- What are good GK questions for kids?
- Good GK questions for kids are about things they can see or connect to: animals, India's national symbols, festivals, transport, the human body, the planets and famous places. Start with easy questions and add a few harder ones as your child's confidence grows.
- Which GK questions suit Class 1 and Class 2?
- For Class 1 and 2, keep to the world around the child: animals and their homes, fruits and vegetables, colours, transport, festivals and national symbols. The Class 1 and Class 2 sections above are written for that age.
- How can my child get better at general knowledge?
- A few GK questions a day, one child-friendly news story a week, and looking things up on a map or globe together. Regular short practice works better than memorising long lists.
- Are these GK questions useful for the GK Olympiad (IGKO)?
- Yes. The IGKO (International General Knowledge Olympiad) covers general awareness, the world around us, sports and current affairs, the same areas as these questions. Add current affairs by talking about the news with your child.
