This powerpoint is hyperlinked so that the teacher or students can choose a random sura and either write what the sura is or they are given the sura passage itself and they have to remember what the sura and ayat numbers are. This is a good revision tool and allows students to revise the suras they need to know. Works well on an interactive whiteboard. You could add pictures or related clips to each slide.

Eduqas/WJEC specifiy 64 words (with definitions) in their ISLAM specification for A2.
