There was once a hit American show called Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader? The iconic show originally premiered as a 3-episode special in 2007. But it was so loved that it came back as a full-blown game show in 2009.

 

Jeff Foxworthy hosted the show, which saw adults team up with actual fifth graders. The adults tried to prove their knowledge, while the kids were there to lend their knowledge during the quiz.

 

Now, we don’t have actual fifth graders to help out – so this quiz is all you!
