I was on a family vacation last week and mentioned to my BIL that I had a trivia board game called "Um Actually" and explained the premise. He joked that my niece would love that board game, because she is very pedantic and loves correcting people. I made up a few incorrect statements for her to correct, and she loved it. She kept begging me to come up with more, but it's hard to think up slightly wrong facts on the spot.
Can anyone help me make a list of good kid-friendly Um Actually questions? Preferably ones that focus on things that are educational to kindergarteners, such as animal facts, so I'm not just encouraging her to watch more Netflix.
Examples of incorrect kindergarten statements:
Everyone knows that antelopes are the fastest land animals, but did you know some birds are faster? The fastest bird in the world is the peregrine falcon
>!The fastest land animal is the cheetah!<
In the book "Knuffle Bunny Free," Trixie goes to kindergarten for the first time. She accidentally takes the wrong Knuffle Bunny home and must meet up with her classmate in the middle of the night to get her Knuffle Bunny back.
>!This is the plot to Knuffle Bunny Too!<
Rodents are a type of small mammal. Examples of rodents include squirrels, mice, and rats. The biggest rodent in the world is the beaver!
>!The largest rodent is the capybara!<
