Here is a brilliant revision game to play as a class to prepare the students for their Anglo-Saxon/Norman exam. Teacher prints off one copy which they keep to see the order as it is played. Another copy is printed and all the cards are cut out for the students to share. Every card must be handed out for the game to work so some students may need to have 2 cards. Teacher tells the person with the first question to go. They read their question and the class has to listen to it to see if they have the answer on their own card. If they do, they read it out, the teacher tells them if they’re correct and that pupil will then read out the question on the own card until all the questions are answered. Good idea to time it to see how quick they can get. Good luck with the exams :)
