An exciting English quiz to round off the 2024 academic year. This vibrant quiz includes 38 slides, 10 fun and academically engaging rounds relating to both Language and Literature, worth 50 points in total. Answer sheets and winners’ certificates are included (slides 4 and 39).
This was one of my most popular resources of 2023, and for those who loved it last year, the format is the same for 2024 but every question is brand new!
The quiz aims to consolidate some key concepts learnt throughout the year whilst also injecting some quirky facts about our ever-evolving language.
The quiz can take anywhere between 1 and 2 lessons depending upon pace and whether certificates are awarded.
