A collection of 15 ready made quizzes to use with your groups. Each quiz is split into 3 sections - General knowledge, Movies/famous faces and a single 'ave a go' random question. The answer slides are included in each quiz. I split my groups into teams and then have a leader board going through the term. I have included a template for you to make your own future quizzes. In the template is another section called 'in the news' which you can add questions about the previous weeks news. I obviously removed them from the ready made quizzes as now outdated. All of these are great for building group rapport, competition and of course having a giggle.

A generic double lesson that could be used in a variety of subjects as an introduction to aspects of leadership. The lesson is based around ideas of pupils and then looking at 3 case studies - Abraham Lincoln, Karen Brady and Alex Ferguson. After looking at summaries of their life stories, pupils can debate similarities and differences in their experiences, turning points and other interesting observations. Certainly creates debates in the classroom! I have used this as an introduction to Jesus and also for a Growth Mindset themed day in school.
