The News Quiz December 11th - 18th 2023 Form Tutor Time Current Affairs

Ho-ho-ho! We’re now at the end of half-term 2 and just one week 'til Christmas hols!!! This is the last one of 2023, next News Quiz will be January 2024 and the Big Fat End of the Year 2023 Quiz will be uploaded soon if it’s of any interest!

2023 ends with the testing, ever increasingly expensive, unpredictable, record-breaking and emotional times we’ve seen recently with a variety of stories from around the world!

What a week once again -new League leaders, Conservatives controversial asylum plan, David Tennant regenerates, Tennessee tornadoes disaster donation, BBC SPOTY nominees, who was the most googled musician, record game show winnings, bear gets turned into musical, rare white animal born, I’m A Celebrity winner, Christmas movie and Christmas celeb! 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. :)
