Facilitator Tips for Using This Quiz with Seniors

If you’re leading this True or False Quiz for the Elderly for a group or one-on-one, a few small tweaks can turn a simple quiz into a joyful, memory-sparking experience. I’ve used these tips myself, and they make a big difference.

Set a relaxed pace
I like to read each statement slowly and clearly, then pause. That extra beat gives you time to think, smile, and sometimes even change your mind - which is half the fun.

Encourage conversation, not just answers
When you answer true or false, I always invite a quick “why do you think so?” This often opens the door to stories, laughter, and unexpected memories. There’s no rush to move on.

Normalize “I don’t know”
Remind everyone upfront that skipping a question is perfectly fine. This keeps the mood light and removes pressure, especially in group settings.

Use visual or verbal cues
If you’re facilitating for a group, I suggest using hand signals, colored cards, or simply calling out answers. It keeps everyone involved, even if writing isn’t ideal.

Celebrate participation over points
Scoring is optional. Some of the best sessions I’ve seen ditch points entirely and focus on shared enjoyment. If you do keep score, keep it playful, never competitive.

Adapt for energy levels
You don’t have to finish every question in one sitting. Breaking the quiz into short rounds works beautifully for attention and keeps the experience fresh.

When you use this quiz as a facilitator, you’re not just asking questions - you’re creating moments of connection. And honestly, that’s where this game really shines.

Creative Scoring Ideas to Up the Competition

Spice Up Your True or False Game Night

Ready to take your true or false game to the next level? Let's explore some creative scoring options to up the competition and add excitement to your game nights.

While the scoring system in the true or false quiz for the elderly game above is straightforward, there's room to mix things up. The format awards one point for each correct answer, but let's explore two other ways to make it even more engaging:

1. Weighted Scoring

One option is to use a weighted scoring system with different point values based on the difficulty of the questions. For example, you could award: 

• 5 points for each extremely difficult question answered correctly
• 3 points for a standard question answered correctly
• 1 point for an easier warm-up question

This adds an extra layer of strategy as players decide which questions are worth really focusing on versus taking an educated guess.

2. Negative Scoring

Another fun twist is to assign negative points for incorrect answers! This puts players at risk of losing points, so they have to weigh the benefit of guessing versus passing on a stumper. Here's a common approach:

• +2 points for a correct answer
• -1 point for an incorrect answer
• 0 points for answering "I don't know"
  
  

Negative scoring can add a thrilling element of risk, encouraging players to think carefully before answering.

Of course, if you're in the mood for a more relaxed experience, you can always keep it simple with one point per correct answer. No matter how you score it, the foundation of the game stays the same: distinguishing true from false. May the best (and most knowledgeable) player win!
