Collective Nouns

Collective Nouns

This pub quiz handout round features a list of 15 phrases featuring collective nouns ("A leap of...", "A colony of...", etc.) plus a mixed up list of the 15 types of animals that correctly complete these phrases. The aim for teams in your quiz is to match them all up.

A few of these should be fairly straightforward to ensure that most teams get up and running quickly with this quiz round, but some guesswork may be needed to complete the round.

While the information in this round could be used in a pub quiz to make up a standard question and answers (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.

If you buy this handout round, we will give you access to pdf files you can download. Two of these will be for the main handout sheet - one as illustrated above, and one in a more plain format. The third sheet will contain the answers. You probably already have everything you need to access and use these rounds in your quiz, but you might want to check our requirements page to make sure.

Please note that this handout round also appears in Weekly Quiz 109. If you would prefer to purchase our pre-compiled full weekly pub quiz packs, then click here, where you can find quizzes with a handout round, 2 rounds on general subjects, a specialist subject round, a connections round, an initial letter link round, and a stick or twist round, as well as professionally designed answer sheets and full instructions on how to run your quiz. If, however, you prefer to use your own format for your quizzes, then this handout round should help towards creating an entertaining and challenging quiz.
