Round 5 — Capitals & Countries
📋 What it is
This round quizzes capital cities and countries around the world.
🗣️ Coach says
Capitals are the classic “I bet the grown-ups get this wrong” round — many confuse the biggest CITY with the CAPITAL.
🧠 Memory hook
A capital isn’t always the biggest city — the capital is where the GOVERNMENT sits.
😂 Giggle
Why was the geography round so grounded?
It always knew where it stood!
😲 Whoa!
Some countries have more than one capital, splitting government jobs between cities.
🎤 What is the capital of Australia?
You're the HOST — decide your answer and hold the card, then flip & announce. (Knowing it FIRST is what makes you the host, not a lucky guess.)
🃏 Your card: Canberra (not Sydney — that’s the biggest city).
Canberra is Australia’s capital; Sydney is larger but not the capital.
🎙️ Contestant “Sure-Sam” buzzes in: “The capital of Australia is Sydney!”
Sounds right? Sydney is the biggest, most famous city — but the CAPITAL is Canberra (biggest city ≠ capital). You held the real answer — you’re the host!
