        Trivia Pong Rules & How to Play <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Below is our version of Trivia Pong that we created specifically to use with our own printables. However, you’re welcome to find other versions that best suit you and your family! In fact, we found another fun trivia pong game<\/a> from Play Party Plan<\/a>! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        How to play Trivia Pong as a team:<\/strong> Split up into two teams. One person from each team goes up to the table to represent their team. Choose one person to read the provided trivia questions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        When the players are ready to start, have the trivia reader select the first question and read it out loud for everyone to hear. The players will now begin to pong back and forth. You have four “pongs” (the ball going back and forth) to answer the question correctly. You can’t miss a ball and you can’t get a question wrong. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        If you miss the ball or give the wrong answer, a new player from your team takes your place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        The goal is to be the first player to answer the question correctly. Once the trivia question is answered you can either choose to remain at the ping-pong table or you can have another player from your team take your place. This is up to you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        When you answer a question correctly, put a tally on your team’s section of the score card. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        If you want to shake things up a bit, you can play with the rule of losing a point whenever a player misses a “pong!” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        How to play Trivia Pong as an individual:<\/strong> The same rules as above but you will be representing yourself at the table rather than an entire team. If you miss a pong or answer a question incorrectly, you are “out” and another individual will replace you at the table (representing themself). Once it is your turn again you can resume earning points. <\/p>\n\n\n

        \n

        You will keep track of your points under the “individual” section of the score card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Additional way to play: <\/strong>You can also keep track of individual points even if you’re on a team. Whoever answers the most trivia questions correctly within your team wins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        We have provided 20 trivia cards for you to use. If you are looking for more, check out the Family Trivia Game for All Generations<\/mark><\/a> or the I Should Have Known That!<\/mark><\/a> trivia stack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
