Turn your own notes into random trivia for kids
Trivia from a ready-made list may not match what your kids are learning. DeckOwl writes multiple-choice, true/false and open questions from the lesson material you already have, with a short explanation for each answer.
Make random trivia for kids from material you already have
A random trivia generator for kids works best when the questions come from the lessons you are already teaching, so the facts stick. If you were hoping for a ready-made list to print, DeckOwl takes a different route: you upload your own pages and it writes a custom set of questions from them.
- Use one chapter or lesson per generation so the questions stay focused on a single topic.
- Mix true/false questions in with multiple choice to keep younger players moving.
- Read the explanations aloud after each round to turn wrong answers into learning moments.
- Generate a fresh set from the same notes whenever you want new questions for the same topic.
Questions from your material
Upload a science chapter, a slide deck or handwritten notes photographed with your phone, and get questions drawn only from that content.
Three question formats
Mix multiple choice, true/false and short-answer questions so a round feels like a game rather than a worksheet.
Explanations for every answer
Each question includes a brief reason for the correct answer, which helps kids learn from the ones they miss.
How it works
Upload the material
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or a photo of a page. Scanned pages are read with text recognition.
Choose the question types
Pick multiple choice, true/false or open questions, then generate a set sized for the round you have in mind.
Quiz and repeat
Study in the browser for free, or export to PDF or DOCX on a paid plan to print or share with a class.
Start with a single chapter, a unit slide deck or a page of class notes. Choose multiple choice, true/false or open questions, and each one comes with a short explanation that a parent or teacher can read aloud when an answer is missed.
Free accounts get 3 generations per month and can study in the browser. Plus adds unlimited generations and PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export for teachers who run their quizzes in a learning management system.

Frequently asked questions
What kinds of questions work best for kids' trivia?
Short, concrete facts with one clear answer work best, such as animal features, planets or simple science processes. Keep each question to one idea so the answer is easy to check.
How many trivia questions should I make from one chapter?
Ten to fifteen questions is a good starting point for a single chapter, so kids can finish in one sitting. You can generate more from the same notes if you want a longer round.
Can I export the questions to print them?
PDF and DOCX export are included in the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month. QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are in Pro at $14.99/month, and the free plan is for studying in the browser.
Do I need a credit card to try it?
No, you can start on the free plan with 3 generations per month and no credit card. Students get 40% off with a school email.
