You can buy this game, its called Aussie Quizz and used to be sold in a little styrofoam esky. I made a map of Australia on a floor mat and used an old lantern, and other antique items to move around to places on the map.
Thank you for sharing this fantastic idea. I used it today with my residents, they loved it. We really enjoyed the action cards - acting out things, especially the kookaburra call and 'Hello Possum'. Lots of laughs. Will use it again. Thank you
Hi I recently did race around Australia trivia game it was a huge success thank you, I am wondering where the trivia pages were sourced from, the mix of questions were fantastic. If anyone out there can assist me to source some more that are similar I would be very grateful cheers Carole.
Hi Carole, I researched most of the questions online from lots and lots of different sites and then just compiled them into the different sections of the quiz. So Google search is the answer.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful program idea. Our Residents love Quiz based programs. We played yesterday, we used chalk and drew the map of Australia on the floor of the activity hall and used pool noodles as the counters to move each team around Australia as they answered the questions correctly. Lots of laughs and enjoyment had by all. Thanks again. :)
Thank you. A lot of prep went into this - much appreciated. Will use next week when a client will share with us their recent four wheel driving trip around Australia.
Just came across this game and wanted to Thank you so much for the time and effort you have put into this, it's fabulous and I can't wait to play this with our residents next Australia Day if we wait that long.
I just LOVE the multicultural section of this fabulous website. I work as a Activities Director at a day service facility and we are currently closed due to COVID! I am mailing/delivering personalized packages to our clients. We have clients of many different cultures and ethnic backgrounds. Adding pages of color-printed information from their country really brightens their day. The family members/care givers are delighted to see a spark in their loved ones eyes when they see and read about their history. I am becoming so educated myself learning all this. It will help me when we get back to work striking a spark in our clients eye when I reminisce with them about their culture. I seriously can NOT get enough of this fantastic site. xoxo :-)
