Fact or Fiction Questions and Answers, With True or False History

Fact or Fiction Questions and Answers, With True or False History: how it works

Read a statement out, let the table call it, then tap Fact or Fiction and press Check answer. These fact or fiction questions and answers come in two banks: 158 mixed statements on animals, the human body, space, food, geography and history, and 130 true false history questions in five eras. Half of each bank is true, and every answer comes with a line on why.

Run a round from one phone

One person hosts. Read the statement aloud, give the table a moment to argue, then tap Fact or Fiction for the room and press Check answer. The card shows the right call, a line on why and the Wikipedia article behind it. Next question deals another. The switch above the card changes banks: Mixed topics has 158 statements, History by era has 130, and Topic narrows either one. The two answer buttons can trade places between statements, so read the label before you tap.

The rules, and three ways to score

Every card is a call, not a recall question, so nobody needs to know the subject. The plain rule: everyone votes at once, thumbs up for fact and thumbs down for fiction, and a right call is a point. Or teams write their call and reveal together. Or a player who calls fiction earns a bonus point for saying what is true. For a scored game, switch to Exam mode and press Start the exam: 20 statements, no answers until the end, then a score and a review of each miss.

The printed sheet and what the phone remembers

Print question sheet puts 20 statements on paper with lettered choices and a line for a name and a score. Print answer key prints the same numbers with the answer, the explanation and the source. All 288 statements are also listed under the tool with their sources. For each bank, the phone remembers the statements you have seen, missed or pressed Flag on, until you press Clear my progress.

Tips

• Count to three and vote together, or the table copies whoever sounds sure.
• For a class warm-up, pick one era under Topic and read five true or false history statements aloud.
• Ask why before you check. On a fiction, give a point for naming the real capital, inventor or date.
• If the swapping buttons trip up younger kids, untick Shuffle questions and choices. Fact stays first, and statements run in list order.
• Open Missed at the end and replay what fooled the room. Break a tie with a closest-number question.
