Christmas Quiz 2016

I created this quiz for the children when they got back from the EXCELLENT exhibit at Bolton Museum. The questions were obviously pre-prepared and prompts given during the trip activities for a 'memory challenge' when they returned!

This pack includes Movies Picture Round with 12 questions Questions 1-4: Name the actor pictured on the Hollywood walk of fame Questions 5-8: Name the film from the costume Questions 9-12: Name the film from the cryptic clue 33 carefully researched movie themed questions (including picture round it is a 45 question quiz.) Blank 45 question template to print out and write on (if required.) The questions selection is done for you, because each quiz starts easy and gets more difficult towards the end, pitched at the average quizzer, retaining an element of fun. More questions within this quiz are multiple choice for this reason, but to add a further level of difficulty the multiple choice element can merely be excluded whilst questioning. Perfect for a standard, or online quiz for adults. Questions 13 - 20: Easier questions designed to give your teams some confidence and even raise some laughs. Questions 21 - 30: Medium difficulty questions Questions 31-35: Name the film from the named ‘movie twist.’ Questions 36 - 40: Harder questions which teams will find much more challenging. Questions 41 - 45: ‘The Wipeout Round’ or ‘Double or Quits’.  It is suggested that in this section, you inform teams that each question is worth 2 points, however if one question is answered incorrectly the team ‘wipes-out’ and scores no points for the round, questions can however be missed out with no penalty (just receiving no points for that particular question.) One example of a question in this resource is… In the film ‘Cool Runnings’ in what country do they compete as a bob-sleigh team in the 1988 Olympics: Canada, Norway or France? This resource was added to the site on February 8th, 2021 All quizzes have been tried and tested in real life quizzes beforehand.

A basic Apple Keynote giving tips on how to edit stories. This will also work on iPad. This was originally made for a year 3/4 class but can easily be adapted for different age groups. Eg.

Powerpoint explaining about New Year and why people make resolutions. I have also included a video about how to say happy new year in several languages from YouTube. Also a worksheet I made to help children write their own 2016 New Year Resolutions.

LO: Understand how writers portray character personality through writing. This is a lesson based on exploring the techniques a writer uses to show a characters personality and requires pupils to use the evidence from the text extract I have included from the book 'The Hobbit' it is an excellent extract featuring the character 'Gollum.' The Powerpoint I have made goes through the process of... S (speech) A (actions) D (description) Children can then annotate their text accordingly and / or draw the character with annotations. Highly adaptable for many ages. The 1970's version of the hobbit features a similar conversation on YouTube. BONUS I have included a snippet of the text from 'The Hobbit' an activity for children to highlight all the parts of the text that describe the hobbit / wizard and the house. They then draw a picture to match their highlights. The results can be compared to the artists impression I have included.
