The Addams Family (PG-13 - 1991) Film Quiz for Grades 6 - 9 Worksheet | PDF | Worksheet

Overview

Analyze identity versus appearance, family loyalty, and how “normal” power (courts, polite psychology) is used against the Addams—without tiny quotes. Students chart how Gomez’s longing for Fester drives choices, how rituals like the mamushka and setting shifts reveal belonging, and how Gordon’s final decision resolves the identity question.

Parental Guidance
