\"twenty<\/a><\/p>\n

When we celebrate a birthday or some other special occasion we like to play a \u201cTwenty Questions\u201d game.  We\u2019ve played Twenty Questions for birthdays for more years than I can remember.  My big problem with the game is making up new questions every time so I decided to be selfish and write this blog so I would have a permanent record of questions to use.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve included three sets of questions to target three different age groups- the \u201cover the hill\u201d, \u201cprime of life\u201d and a version for kids.  These are not icebreaker questions but questions for testing your knowledge of the person whose life you are celebrating.<\/p>\n

You can give everyone a copy of the questions and ask them to write their answers down or read the questions aloud and everyone, including the birthday person writes their answers on a blank piece of paper.  (You don\u2019t need to get the answers to the questions in advance.)<\/p>\n

These are not icebreaker questions- but questions to test your knowledge of a friend, family member or other loved one.   Their answer IS THE CORRECT ONE!<\/p>\n
