Animal Names

This handout round features 10 different types of animal along with the names given to the male, female and young of their kind all in one big mixed up list. The aim is, for each animal, to correctly pick out the correct male name, the correct female name and the correct young name.

Several of these are nice and easy, so everyone should be able to get up and running quickly with this round, but there are a few less well known names in there which may take a lot of puzzling over, and a bit of guesswork may be needed to complete the round.

While the information in this round could be used to make up standard question and answer rounds (where the quiz-master asks questions aloud and the teams write the answers on blank answer sheets) it is recommended that this is used in a quiz as a handout round.
