Day of the Dead and Halloween traditions
Six questions on traditions
On which days is Day of the Dead (Día de Muertos) celebrated in Mexico?
What is the orange marigold used on Day of the Dead altars called in Mexico?
What is the altar with photos and offerings for loved ones who have died called?
What is the sweet bread baked especially for Day of the Dead called?
Which Mexican artist first drew the skeleton lady that became La Catrina?
In a Halloween party game, players lean over a tub of water. What do they try to catch with their teeth?
Day of the Dead is not "Mexican Halloween". It is a celebration of family members who have died, with its own history, and a good quiz says so. The Catrina question has a twist of its own: Posada drew her, and Diego Rivera gave her the name La Catrina in a mural decades later.
Tips for a Halloween quiz that works
- Pick the rounds for the room. The easy round is made for young kids; film questions work best with teenagers and adults.
- Let players come in costume. Ask everyone to join with a spooky nickname, and the leaderboard becomes half the fun.
- Add a round about your own class. Questions about your school or your group make the quiz feel like yours, not something from the internet.
- Leave time after each answer. The short explanation after every question is where people learn the turnip fact they will repeat at dinner.
