A popular table quiz is one with pictures of well known people, past and present.
We had one the other week with a black and white picture of a young boy. We racked our brains and eventually came up with Spike Milligan. It turned out to be Vladimir Putin. grin

Try asking how many beans make five, or whether there are really numbers lower than 1. With luck, there'll be a couple of mathematicians in and everyone can have a quiet drink while they argue. grin

Lyric round? Or is that too similar to the poem one? Maybe not if you can do it with intros, and ask for the first line of the song.

Photo round? Identify the following celebrities?

World leaders? Who is King/Queen/President of the following countries?

Currencies?

Dog breeds?

You could watch old episodes of Mastermind on Youtube for ideas. There are general knowledge questions on the second half of the programme.

All suggestions for rounds or questions gratefully received!

I have a music round ready and a table round finding second lines of poems and their writers. And now my mind has gone
blank!
