Take part in the CLIC Sargent
Haunted Halloween Quiz to raise money
for children and young people with cancer
Suggest donation: £2 per person
How to play:
The quiz can either be played as individuals or in teams. Nominate a quiz host to
ask the questions and give each team a copy of the answer sheet. There are three
separate rounds of questions – so you could hold a raffle in between to raise even
more money between them! Once all the questions have been asked, swap the
answer sheets between teams and score each other’s answers. Should there be
a draw, there’s a tiebreaker too. Give the winning team or individual a prize and
donate the money to CLIC Sargent!
CLIC Sargent is the UK’s leading cancer charity for children and young people, and
their families. We provide clinical, practical and emotional support to help them
cope with cancer and get the most out of life.
