The News Quiz October 2nd - 9th 2023 Form Tutor Time Current Affairs

Ohmidays!!!, We’re now FIVE weeks into a whole 'nother school year and it seems like we’ve been here forever!!! (is it half term yet?)

2023 continues 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 - football referee chaos, stores that were closed reopen with a new name, Sycamore Gap destruction, Sir Michael Gambon passes, first named storm of the season attacks, keeping it like a fruit, bizarre Fashion Week designs, social media giant tests new fees, Aussie icon back at number one, sci-fi memorabilia goes to auction, deepfake adverts using famous actors and Guts singer goes global !!! What does the rest of 2023 hold in store for us all? A summer holiday around the corner somewhere… 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. :)
