A grid 6 x 6 with a variety of questions that may come up in an oral exam. I print and laminate these grids. Students work in pairs or small groups to play the game. Each pair will need two different coloured dice. They roll the dice and answer the question corresponding to the numbers on the dice. They take it in turns to ask/answer the questions. I use this game as a way of revising for the oral exam or for practicing oral French. Most questions are suitable for Junior Cert or Leaving Cert but questions can be changed to suit the needs and ability of your class.

A quiz designed to help students understand their own political views. This quiz has four sections - social, cultural, political and economic. There is a guide to scoring answers at the back of the quiz, and a separate guide to interpreting the scores. An example of scoring once points for each section are tallied - Economic Issues: 18 points → Far Left Social Issues: 14 points → Moderate Libertarian Political Issues: 10 points → Centrist Cultural Issues: 7 points → Traditional All scoring is explained in the second attached document. *These questions are designed to cover a broad range of topics, providing an initial understanding of different political beliefs and values. The answers can help students to reflect on where they stand on the political spectrum/compass. To determine an overall political position, you can have students plot their results on a political compass grid (numeracy): X-Axis (Economic): Left (-) to Right (+) Y-Axis (Social): Libertarian (-) to Authoritarian (+) For more nuanced results, you could consider averaging the scores across sections or using a weighted approach if certain issues are more important. It is important to remind students that political beliefs can be complex.
