SALTED PEANUTS Ask true/false questions from Salted Peanuts or similar trivia book. Team with the most correct answers wins.
HIGHER OR LOWER OR RIGHT ON
Directions: Have everyone in the audience stand up. Everyone needs to pair up with someone else to compete against. Before any question is read, each pair chooses which of the two of them will answer it. When the question/statement is read the person who is supposed to answer gives the number he thinks is closest to correct. The partner should then reply, “Higher” (if he thinks the correct answer is higher), or “Lower” (if he thinks the correct answer is lower), or “Right on” (if he thinks the number given is exactly right).
If the answer is right on (and the number guessed was correct) then neither player gets a strike against them. If the answer wasn’t right on, the person who said, “Right on” gets a strike and the number guesser does not.
If the question was, for example, “How many states make up the United States?” and the first person guesses “45,” the second person should say, “Higher.” If he does, then the person who said, “45” gets a strike. If the second person says, “Lower” then they get the strike since there are 50 states.
After each question/statement, players must pair up with a new partner. Once a person gets three strikes he must sit down. The last player standing is the winner.

Page AROUND THE WORLD Here’s a great mixer for when you need to fill time before the start of an activity. Have everybody in the audience divide into two equal teams, or play guys vs. girls. The person at the head of the line for each team is the contestant for their team. When a question is asked, whoever answers first (correctly) goes to the back of their team’s line and the other person is eliminated and must sit down. The next people in line move up. Continue the process until one team is eliminated. Or, once one side’s line gets a lot shorter than the other, send some players to the side and keep playing until there is a single winner. (You may have to make line adjustments a few times in order to come up with a single winner.) Most questions are ridiculously easy but there are a few harder questions thrown in for fun.
