The News Quiz 6th - 17th December 2021 Form Tutor Time Current Affairs

2021 draws to a close with the penultimate quiz of 2021 and a variety of stories from around the world! Two weeks covered as some schools finish a bit earlier and formtime seems to be full of Christmas-related, exam or revision-related activities at the mo!

ALSO THIS WEEK ON TES IS THE BIG FAT NEWS QUIZ OF THE YEAR 2021, which is an hour long quiz of 60 questions from across the year - search for it if interested!

What a week once again - Everton finally triumph, more power outages in the wake of Arwen, kimchi for the poor, Tomb Raider at 25, take-a-break additions, PM signatures for sale, Grand Prix tension heightens, Take That member return, stores forced to close, Bird of the Year is not a bird, Emmys snub and presale cinema records !!! What does 2021-2022 school year hold in store for us all? There’s only one way to find out - in the NEEEEEEWWWWSSS QUUUUUUUIIIIIZZZ! :)

New quiz uploaded each week of the term, ALL YEAR LONG! More than ten years and still going strong :) Many thanks to everyone who downloads this, it is very much appreciated and I’m glad it is useful for your form groups!

13 topical questions of the past week’s news, across the UK and the world.

Designed to be used as a 10-20 minute activity in formtime - you could make it a little longer by talking about and discussing some of the questions.

ANY MIS-SPELLINGS/MISSING CAPITALS ETC. IN THE PREVIEW ARE INTENTIONAL AND LINK TO THE LITERACY QUESTIONS IN THE REST OF THE QUIZ!

Powerpoint so can be used on a standard whiteboard.

Includes 2 literacy and 1 numeracy questions based on the other questions.

Works well as a form group activity in registration time - I give sweets to the winning team (we’re not supposed to give sweets out, so it’s a nice ‘naughty’ reward and makes (some of) them watch and check their apps about the news in the week. :)
