How to be an Earth Hour Quiz Master When? The global switch-off takes place on Saturday 31 March 2011 at 8.30pm for one hour. You can host the quiz on the night or any time in the lead up to the event, whatever suits you.
Where? The quiz can be played wherever you like – it doesn’t have to be in a pub! You may want to do this as a work activity or at home with family and friends. Just as long as the lights are off during Earth Hour!
Raising funds We recommend that you ask each player taking part to donate £5. However, please ask for a donation that you think suits your audience’s pockets, and remember that no matter how small their gift, it all helps to fund WWF’s work to protect the natural world. Please return any funds you’ve raised to us as soon as you can after your event. Send cheques and postal orders made payable to WWF-UK, Panda House, Weyside Park, Godalming, GU7 1XR.
Fundraising activities are governed by rules and regulations - for a list of basic guidelines please have a look at the tips within our fundraising Do’s and don’ts’ tips available on our website wwf.org.uk/fundraisingpack
If you’ve any queries, please contact our Supporter Care team on 01483 426 333 or email us at [email protected]. We’d love to help.
On the night Light some candles, switch off the lights no later than 8.30pm and get your teams ready by handing out the team answer sheets, one for each team. Ask them to come up with an original team name. It’s up to you which rounds you want to play, and whether you want to play for just an hour or for the whole evening. The quiz has been designed with a mixture of easy and challenging questions. The subjects to choose from include:
• Entertainment • Sport • Living world • History• Geography • Green living • Dingbats
OUR WORLD IS BRILLIANTIt’s not just about an hour of darkness. It’s about a brighter future
This pack gives you everything you need to make your candle-lit quiz a fun way to celebrate this global event. Simply print off as many of the items as you’ll need for the teams taking part.

Entertainment
Each round has 10 questions. We estimate that three rounds will take an hour. But go for all the rounds if you want to make a night of it. Read out each question, perhaps repeating it, and give the teams a moment or two to work out the answer. Ask the teams to write down what they think the right answer is on the sheet you gave to them at the start. It’s a good idea after every round to read out the right answers. To make this easy (and avoid anyone cheating!) ask teams to swap papers so that they mark each others’ answers, awarding one point for every correct answer. Then ask every team to add up all the points their opponents scored for that round and call them out, so that you can write it down and keep track.
For the dingbats round, give each table a copy of this page at the beginning, so they can complete it as they go – but you should allow some time at the end for them to finish this off.
A top tip is for you to call out at the end of each round who’s in first place, second place etc to create a sense of competition! At the end of however many rounds you’re playing, announce the winning team and present them with their ‘Earth Hour You’re Brilliant’ winning team certificate.
