Quizzes

All our residents enjoy the General Knowledge quizzes that are a regular feature within Flixton Manor.

These sessions are once a week, however more often when requested.

These sessions are held in the main lounge where residents are invited to shout out the answers.  This usually involves some refereeing as to who got the answer first.

Sometimes depending on the season, the quiz’s are themed e.g. Macmillan’s Big Blooming Tea Party, where friends and relatives are also invited along for a small donation, to join in and try to win the prize of the day.  The donations are then sent to Macmillan.  These afternoons are always a great success and a good time is had by all.

Other examples of themed quizzes that we have had in the home are:

-         The Easter Quiz and Easter Bonnet Parade

-         Wimbledon Quiz with tea, scones and strawberries / cream

-         Halloween Quiz with fancy dress and spooky treats

Some of our residents are real Brain Boxes and have a wide and varied knowledge which they enjoy sharing. 

The quizzes certainly show us younger ones a thing or two about how little we actually know.
