Welcome to the Columbus Day Quiz! Today is Columbus Day! Because of this, I wanted to share a quiz about him. Let me tell you another reason why I made this quiz before we start.
I didn’t post this just because I love trivia and seasonal posts. I posted this quiz because I have a book that has Columbus’s own personal journal. When my history curriculum was teaching me about Columbus, my mom got me this book. By reading that book, I can learn about Christopher Columbus using primary documents. Primary documents are basically like journals, letters, or government documents from that time. Because I have this book, I know if what I’m learning is true. I’ll put a link for that book after the quiz in case you want to learn using primary documents, too. Now, let me tell you about this quiz.
This is the Columbus Day Quiz, as I already said. This quiz will test your knowledge of the voyage of Christopher Columbus. There are ten trivia questions that you have to answer (I actually got all of the information in this quiz from the book!) to find the digital, hidden treasure. If you get five or more questions right, you’ll find the fake treasure. If you fail, you don’t get the fake treasure. So, were you paying attention in history class? Let’s dive into this quiz to see if you know a lot about Columbus.
#1. Which day of October did Columbus actually arrive in the Americas?
#2. What animals did Columbus’s crew see on the first island they landed on?
#3. Who were the natives on the first island that Columbus landed on?

Select all that apply:
#5. At what time did Columbus’s crew spot land?
