Mother Child Trivia

Activity
Invite mothers to the Sunday School classroom. Temporarily separate the mothers and the children or youth. The teacher asks some planned questions to the group of mothers and each mother is expected to try and guess the answer her child/teen will give to each question. Answers are written on a large peice of cardboard or a piece of paper that can later be held high for everyone to see.

Bring the mothers and children/youth back together. Assign point values for each question in which the parent successfully guessed the child's answer. You can also reverse roles for the next set of questions and have the kids try to predict their mother's answer. The mother-child with the most points wins a prize.

Some sample questions
"Most common thing you fight over?"
"You are most alike in what characteristic?"
"What is your favorite activity together?"
"What is the funniest thing that happened when you were together?" "What is one music group you could listen to and both enjoy?"
"What is a television show you watch together?"

The parent and child answer the questions on an index card, without talking to each other or having any type of collaboration at all on answers.

Makes a great activity to encourage mother-child communication, especially among teens.
