How good is your movie knowledge? Since most of us have a little time off from work this month, here’s a little bit of fun trivia. See if you can identify the movie each quote is taken from. Take care though! The quotes are not exact. In each quote, a vital word or phrase has been replaced with a variation of the words “Cardboard Box” (After all, this is the Cardboard Box Adventures Publishing blog.) Give yourself extra points if you can identify both the movie AND the word or phrase that has been replaced with “Cardboard Box.” Highlight the hidden text to read the answers.
The movies are all family-friendly, so ask your kids for help if you get stuck!
