The News Quiz April 17th -24th 2023 Form Tutor Time Current Affairs

Oh my daaaaaaays! 2023 continues with the testing, increasingly expensive, unpredictable, record-breaking and emotional times we’ve seen recently with a variety of stories from around the world! But at least we’re off for a two-week Easter break in a few days!

What a week once again - another victory for Liverpool, Joe Biden visits UK, New Year, Snooker Championships protests, giant artificial meatball, mobile phones test message, Suspicious Stew Pringles, Angry Birds company purchase, Miracle at one, moviestar fixes pothole, K-Pop military service and Disney under fire over remake!!! What does the beginning of 2023 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!

We’re off next week for two weeks Easter Hols, so this one takes us up to 17th April :)

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. :)
