Halloween Quiz and Crossword - Primary

Celebrate Halloween this October with your primary pupils with this 45 question quiz themed around the event complete with answers. This resource is a 45 question Halloween quiz created on Microsoft Powerpoint suitable for KS2 primary and KS3 secondary students.

Whats included?
Within this resource there are 45 questions spanning 4 rounds. A mixture of multiple choice and general knowledge question types are included. Topics range from fantastic facts about Halloween and all spooky association to general knowledge questions, literary works, song lyrics and spooky TV and film favourites. Your pupils will have so much fun engaging with this quiz.

The answers can then shared as a class either by going through each question individually (ensure you are in present mode for the correct answer to colour green) for students to peer or self mark. You could alternatively use the quick answer quiz sheet variation of this quiz if you would prefer to speed things up! Additionally, answers to each individual question can be found on the notes section of each individual PowerPoint slide.

An answer sheet has been created for students to use with this quiz to ensure they stay on track. There are 5 bonus anagrams on the sheet for students to workout where they find the opportunity. The answers to these are provided within the same powerpoint.

Once students have completed the quiz, they can demonstrate their learning by completing the 16 question crossword puzzle included in this resource. All questions and answers for the crossword will have been covered in the quiz. There are 2 variations of the same crossword, one with and one without a word bank to help differentiate for pupils. A completed teacher answer sheet has also been provided.

Delivery advice

• I would recommend for this quiz students get into groups of no more than 4 and the activity should take no longer than 50 minutes to complete.
• To view the ‘long answers’, the powerpoint must be downloaded and displayed in present mode. Answers will turn green upon clicking at the end of the quiz.
