The Most Awesome Oddfellows Quiz on Fellow Oddfellows in the History of Oddfellows

Tonight we had a birthday celebration at our youth group, since it was the fifth Friday of the month. We celebrated the birthdays of those who from the past three months, which included Jenny, Phillip and Grace. Each person had to tell us about one thing they got for their birthday that was special to them.

After that, the time was left to me to run the night's events! I was asked a week ago to come up with an activity for the youth group, and so I thought it was about time we had a quiz to test the youth group members on their knowledge of fellow youth group members.

The youth group members were put into four random teams competing against each other for points in each of the rounds. They had to assign one person their Facebook Freak, the person with good ears, good eyes, who likes eating, and who has super strength!

The first round involved teams guessing whose Facebook status was the one shown. I'm amazed at how good some people are! The following rounds included guessing whose voice was played, trying to guess who was in a photo that was gradually uncovered, and guessing the person from clues given. One round also involved teams having to guess drawings of youth group members!

We had a round where I played each team a short video with several clips, then asked them some questions afterwards. If you want to have a go, try watch one of the following videos (don't look at the questions!), then try answering the questions:









Video One:
‎- In shot five which hand was Ben using to hold his bowl of soup?
- In shot seven, which card number did Carmen flip?


Video Two:
 ‎- Name one of the people wearing a Santa hat in shot one
- What was the value of the note Aonghas was holding in shot five?


Video Three:
‎- What colour was Miriam’s scarf in shot four?
- What was the word on Claire’s t-shirt in shot eight?


Video Four:
‎- Which song lyrics were written on the whiteboard in shot four?
- What colour was Andre’s shirt in shot ten?


One of the rounds that didn't go as well as I'd hoped was the Weetbix eating round, where the person assigned the eating task was given a person's name, then once the Weetbix was put in their mouth they had to try get their team to guess which person it was through clues. The only thing was they used hand gestures rather than verbal clues!

The final round was the strong-man round, where the strongest person in the team had to hold up two 5kg weights with their arms straight out, while the rest of their team answered quick-fire questions about the youth group and its members. There was a bit of confusion going on as to the legitimacy of some of the weight holding, but in the end it wasn't too bad!

Surprisingly we managed to complete the whole quiz with 15 minutes to spare! The final points count was close, with Team 2 winning!

We finished the night with cake and samosas!
