This program, which first aired in the united kingdom in 1998, is now shown in 71 different countries and has 45 different versions in a variety of languages. The phenomenal spread of this show around the world in just a few years is a testament to the popularity of trivia across national and cultural boundaries. While the show does have its detractors, its popularity cannot be denied, and for the reason I believe it is not an overstatement to suggest that the desire to show off one's knowledge of trivia is universal. The popularity of trivia has not gone unnoticed in ELT. Perusing journals in the field one can find descriptions of classroom activities that make use of trivia, as well as classroom adaptations of popular games shows, such as "Who wants to be a milionaire?" (Gates, 2000). Despite these occasional articles, in my opinion trivia has not gotten its dull dues as an excellent source of content for teaching conversation. In this article, I present a rationale for utilizing trivia to teach conversation, show how trivia - based materials fit into communicative language, teaching approaches, provide some examples of trivia - based activities, and explain how to use them in the classroom.
