At the table

Before the cake you read, “In October 1936, Hoover Dam began sending electricity to which big city?” The teams argue; then the card asks the table: “What new appliance did your family get that felt like magic?” The guest of honor has the floor.

In Nov. 1936, post offices began handing out applications for what?

The 3 games, in play order

1936 Trivia: 40 multiple-choice questions in 4 rounds about the year itself. About 30 minutes
Which Came First: 50 A-or-B questions on everyday American life, with a fun fact after every answer. About 25 minutes

Inside the bundle

Why it works

The afternoon is planned around the cake. Before it: 1936 Trivia, rounds 1 and 2 (15 min). While the tea is poured: Which Came First (25 min). After the cake: Old Fashioned Sayings, where the guide notes “the guest of honor finishes them first” (20 min).

Nobody has to decide what comes next. The trivia facts, the Which Came First years and the sayings were checked against published sources.

Made for: Families planning a 90th birthday, at home or in a community room.
