If the quiz is to be held early in the New Year, why not do a round on "that was the year that was" - i.e. 2006. Newspapers over the next few days usually feature this type of quiz, or you could get your questions by researching the net. A photocopies sheet of picture questions are always popular too - they could be also be based on people and events in 2006. Hope this helps.
