Beat the Parents from Imagination Games

Beat the Parents is an enjoyable quiz game which pitches parents/adults against children. Always good fun, as long as the adult isn't uber competitive!

Questions are answered and pieces moved around a board. There are wild cards which instruct you to move forward or back, thereby gaining or losing ground. The instructions for the wild cards were initially a bit confusing. The instructions stated ‘follow the instructions on the card immediately'. We were all a little perplexed as to how we were going to take the children to a theme park during the course of the game.  However the instructions we were meant to follow were in pale grey type at the bottom – move two places forward. At that point we thought we had better switch on the lights and kick the brain cells into gear. 

The kids questions were well pitched for seven to 12 year olds. Over that age they may need to answer a mixture of adult and children questions to make the game fair. The fun questions for adults were things like "Name Peppa Pig brother ", which put paid to competitive Dad's chances of winning. 

Beat the Parents is useful as the quiz cards could be used for a stand alone adult vs. kids quiz , for example on camping trips, cub camps etc. The children who played the game were a little disappointed that the  wild cards were not forfeits , but nonetheless everyone enjoyed the game and in the end the kids won!
