How to Pick a Christmas Team Name
A team name should match the room. Five rules help.
1. Know the audience
A family quiz wants a gentle name. A pub quiz can go cheekier.
2. Keep it short
The host reads it aloud all night. Two to four words is plenty.
3. Pick a pun everyone gets
A pun on a famous carol or a classic film works for any age.
4. Check the other teams
Nobody wants the same name as the table beside them. Agree it before you register.
5. Give yourself a chant
A name with a rhythm works as a cheer when you take the lead.
