Fifteen Canada trivia questions, free to print, with the answers on the last page. Three rounds: six easy ones for the kids, six harder ones for the grown-ups, and three write-in questions for when it ends in a tie. It is about Canada rather than any one holiday, so it works whenever you have people round the table.

What is in the file
Eight pages, four of them the same four repeated. Pages 1 to 4 are US Letter: Round 1, Round 2, Round 3 and the answer key. Pages 5 to 8 are the identical four on A4. Print the set that matches your paper and leave the other half in the file.
Round 1 is for the kids. Six multiple-choice questions with three options each, about the coins in their pocket, the flag and the map. They are meant to be gettable, so a young child can finish the round pleased with themselves.
Round 2 is for the grown-ups. Six multiple-choice questions about dates and records, the kind most adults half remember and then argue about. When was the maple leaf flag first raised? Which province joined Confederation last?
Round 3 is three write-in questions with a line under each, for when two people finish level. There are no options to guess from, and closest wins, which matters on the one about the CN Tower.
The last page is the answer key. It repeats each question in grey with the answer under it in black, so whoever reads them out is not flipping between pages.
How to print it
- Print only the pages that match your paper. Letter is pages 1 to 4, A4 is pages 5 to 8.
- Set Actual Size rather than Fit to Page if your print dialog offers the choice. Nothing here needs to be exactly sized, but Fit to Page shrinks the type for no reason.
- It is black on white throughout and the busiest page is under 4% ink, so a copy for everyone costs very little.
- Keep the answer key back. It is the last page of each set, and it is the one page you do not want to hand out with the rest.
How to play it
With more than about four people, read the questions out loud rather than handing everyone a sheet. It goes faster, and the arguing between questions is half the fun.
If you are handing out sheets, give each person or team the two multiple-choice rounds and keep Round 3 back until you need it. Circle the answers, swap sheets with the next person along, and mark them as you read the key out.
Scoring that works: one point per correct answer in Round 1, two points in Round 2, and Round 3 only if there is a tie at the top. That keeps the kids in it while the adults still have to think.
More for the same table

Where these answers come from
We checked every answer on 27 September 2026 against the people who would know: the Royal Canadian Mint, the Government of Canada, The Canadian Encyclopedia, the National Research Council and the CN Tower itself.
From the Mint: the beaver has been on the nickel and the caribou on the quarter since 1937, and the loon arrived on the one-dollar coin on 30 June 1987. From the Government of Canada: the maple leaf flag was first raised on Parliament Hill on 15 February 1965, and O Canada became the official national anthem on 1 July 1980, a hundred years after it was first sung.
Confederation dates come from The Canadian Encyclopedia: Newfoundland joined in 1949, and Nunavut was created on 1 April 1999. The same source gives the Mackenzie as Canada's longest river, 4,241 km measured as a whole river system. The six time zones are the National Research Council's list: Pacific, Mountain, Central, Eastern, Atlantic and Newfoundland. The CN Tower's own site gives its height as 553.33 metres.
Common questions
How many questions are in the Canada trivia printable?
Fifteen, in three rounds. Round 1 is six multiple-choice questions a child can mostly get right, about coins, the flag and the map. Round 2 is six harder multiple-choice questions for adults, about dates and records. Round 3 is three write-in questions to break a tie. The answer key is the last page of each set.
Is this the same as your Canadian Thanksgiving trivia?
No. The Thanksgiving file is about the holiday itself. This one is about Canada in general, so it works at any table, any time of year: the long weekend, Canada Day, a family visit or a quiet evening. There is no question repeated between the two, so you can play both on the same night.
Will it print properly on A4 paper?
Yes. The file has the three rounds and the answer key laid out for US Letter first, then the same four pages again for A4, so nothing is scaled or cropped. Print the four pages that match your paper, and choose Actual Size rather than Fit to Page if your print dialog offers both.
Do I need to give you an email address to download it?
No. The link goes straight to the PDF. There is no form, no signup and no email, here or on any other download on this site.
