The News Quiz February 6th - 13th 2023 Form Tutor Time Current Affairs

Oh my days! 2023 continues with the testing, increasingly expensive, unpredictable and emotional times we’ve seen recently with a variety of stories from around the world!

What a week once again - Everton make a fresh start, awful earthquake scenes, Viking festival, Downing Street petition, an animal sees his shadow again and again and again, rare lobster caught, PM plan finds difficulties, Gloria at one, American’s shoot down object, lowest infection levels at last, ticket sales web crash and lyrics sell for thousands!!! 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!

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. :)
