Who, What, Where? A REALLY FUN GAME

I created this little game of "Who, What, Where?" to have some fun with good stuff to know. It's kind of like a mini-encyclopedia of fun facts and pictures covering all sorts of subjects. Here's how you play:

1. CAREFUL! Don't put your mouse cursor over any tiny picture pieces until you are sure you are ready to do that.

2. Look at the tiny pieces of pictures and try to guess what the main picture is... "Who" if it's a person and you think you know who, "What" if it's an animal or object, and "Where" if it is a location and exactly where do you think it is? So far, so good?

3. When you are ready to know the answers for sure, move your mouse cursor over a tiny picture piece and it will show you the main picture and give you the answer.

4. If you are the really curious type, CLICK on the tiny picture piece and a new window will pop up showing you a new webpage (not part of this blog) that gives you more details or shows something related to the main picture.

5. HAVE FUN!

How Good Are You at Trivia?

Oh boy, there's a whole lot of resources for trivia on the internet. Mostly, they're family-friendly places even if some of the questions are tough (yes, even for adults -- ha ha, we're not naturally smart just because we're old... we have to work at it!).

I found some pretty good links for kid's trivia if you want to have a look (meanwhile, Parents, here are some guidelines for online kid's trivia that you might want to take a look at.):
