As some of you may recall, my December blog usually consists
of a Quiz, which seems to go down well. In previous years I’ve done Christmas carols
and Christmas songs, so this year I thought I might go a little further and ask
about the first and second lines of
well-known Christmas carols. (Everyone knows the
first line, but how many know the second too?)
So here is this year’s Christmas Quiz:
HOW TO PLAY:
List A contains the first lines of well-known Christmas
carols.
List B contains the second lines of the same carols – but in
a different order!
You may find it easier to work out the first lines to start with. THEN see if you can match them to the second lines.
For example: If the first line (eg 1) is: t t l s (Twinkle
twinkle little star) the second line (eg f) would be h I w w y a (How I wonder
what you are)
The only whole word I’m including in any of the lines is “the”. Otherwise you’re on your own!
Here we go; - Christmas carols!

I think (c) needs a small i rather than a capital for its penultimate letter?
Oops! Yes, you're right! Sorry about that! Hope you'll enjoy the quiz anyway.
Thanks, yes, I couldn't see anything else made any sense. I've printed them off for the family next week, and got them all paired up now so I can eventually produce and answer sheet.
