Kiss Your Way to Mother’s Day Trivia Victory (Free Printable)

Oh, yeah…it’s that special time of year when we shower our moms with love, appreciation, and an abundance of chocolate kisses (because what mom doesn’t love a little sugary indulgence?).

But let’s be real, the usual bouquet of flowers and heartfelt card can feel a tad…well, ordinary. 

That’s why I’m here to share an out-of-the-ordinary, personalized Mother’s Day activity that’s sure to be a hit – the “Blooming with Love” Mother’s Day Kisses Trivia Game!

Step-by-Step Guide: Playing the Mother’s Day Kisses Trivia Game

Objective: The name of the game is simple: be the first player to cover their bouquet board with delicious chocolate kisses by answering True/False Mother’s Day trivia questions correctly. 

It’s a race to create the sweetest, most blooming bouquet of all – in the shortest amount of time (And let’s be honest, who doesn’t love a little friendly competition, especially when chocolate is involved?)

Materials: Before we dive into the gameplay, let’s gather our supplies.

You’ll need:

• “Blooming with Love” Kisses Trivia Game boards (one for each player + you can download the printable pdf below)
• A set of Mother’s Day trivia strips (or you can create your own customized questions – also included in the pdf)
• A HUGE stash of Hershey’s Kisses (or any other small candy/marker you prefer)
• A timer (optional, but it adds a fun sense of urgency!)

Setup:

Setting up the “Blooming with Love” Kisses Trivia Game is a breeze, even for those of us who are organizationally challenged (like yours truly). 

Here’s what you’ll need to do:

1. Print out the bouquet boards and trivia cards. (Don’t worry, I’ve included ink-friendly and color versions in the pdf!)
2. Cut out the trivia strips and mix them up in your fancy basket or hat.
3. Have a bouquet board and a pile of kisses in front of each player.
4. Optional: Have a timer for a little added pressure (but not too much – we want this to be fun, not stressful!).

And just like that, you’re ready to bloom into trivia champions!

How to Play: Pucker Up for Trivia, Kisses and Blooming Bouquets!

Now for the fun part – playing the game!

Here’s how it works:

1. The game master (that’s you, trivia extraordinaire) pulls a trivia slip and reads the question aloud.
2. Players have a short amount of time (5-10 seconds is perfect) to decide if the statement is true or false.
3. Go around the circle and let each player share their answer.
4. Reveal the correct answer, and anyone who guessed correctly gets to place a kiss on their bouquet board.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 until someone’s bouquet is fully blooming with kisses.  That’s the winner!

• Letting the timer run too long: Stick to those 5-10 second intervals for maximum fun.
