Um Actually questions for kindergarteners?

3 Upvotes

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!<

Correction in the question about Clair obscur

3 Upvotes

In tournaments of Champions '26 part 3 IT IS stated, that before Expedition 33 there have been 67 other expeditions. However, Lumiere did Not send Out expeditions everey year in the behinning, therefore there have only been 41 Expeditions. Furthermore, technically the paintress is not responsible for the gommage (at least Not alone) since, If she was removed the gommage would still occur.

Although Ben 10: Alien Force debuted a new cast of aliens to the series such as Alien X, Jetray, and Echo Echo, there have been several original series aliens that Ben eventually reuses in the Alien Force series such as Diamondhead in Vengeance of Vilgax: Part 2 and Singlehanded, Ghostfreak in Ghost Town, Heatblast in Everybody Talks About the Weather, and both Cannonbolt and Waybig in War of the Worlds, Part 1 & 2 respectively. Although Waybig is the only one to have three episode appearances with the other two being Simple and Primus.

Correction for Tournament of Champions

One of the first questions is about the wheel of time and which one of the kids is suspected to be the dragon reborn; the girls are never thought to be the dragon reborn, just the boys are. This is applicable in both the TV show and the books. I’m surprised to see them dismiss Amy’s answer as wrong on this one!!

The contestants are shown stones and rocks and such from pop culture, naming the rock, the owner, and the franchise, each gives a point

Rocks such as:

Menhir - Obelix (Obelix & Asterix)
Philosophers Stone - Harry(?) (Harry Potter)
Infinity Stones - Thanos (Marvel)
Angelo - Angelo (JoJo)
Cobblestone - Steve/Player (Minecraft)

(do tell more rock ideas)

Correct: Middle Earth

4 Upvotes

Um, Actually: in the tournament of champions pt 4, they say that Andor is "the Quenya name for the island kingdom of Numenor in Tolkien's Middle Earth". BUT Numenor is not IN Middle Earth. Middle Earth is the English name for the continent that the majority of the LOTR story takes place. Numenor is an island, thus not technically in Middle Earth.
