Whats included?
Within this resource there are 45 questions spanning 4 rounds. A mixture of multiple choice and general knowledge question types are included. Topics range from fantastic facts about Halloween and all spooky association to general knowledge questions, literary works, song lyrics and spooky TV and film favourites. Your pupils will have so much fun engaging with this quiz.
The answers can then shared as a class either by going through each question individually (ensure you are in present mode for the correct answer to colour green) for students to peer or self mark. You could alternatively use the quick answer quiz sheet variation of this quiz if you would prefer to speed things up! Additionally, answers to each individual question can be found on the notes section of each individual PowerPoint slide.
An answer sheet has been created for students to use with this quiz to ensure they stay on track. There are 5 bonus anagrams on the sheet for students to workout where they find the opportunity. The answers to these are provided within the same powerpoint.
Once students have completed the quiz, they can demonstrate their learning by completing the 16 question crossword puzzle included in this resource. All questions and answers for the crossword will have been covered in the quiz. There are 2 variations of the same crossword, one with and one without a word bank to help differentiate for pupils. A completed teacher answer sheet has also been provided.
Delivery advice
I would recommend for this quiz students get into groups of no more than 4 and the activity should take no longer than 50 minutes to complete.
To view the ‘long answers’, the powerpoint must be downloaded and displayed in present mode. Answers will turn green upon clicking at the end of the quiz.
Please keep an eye out for my weekly and event themed quizzes which are created in a similar fashion and please review/leave feedback if you enjoyed this resource and where you have time!

This lesson is designed for my current Y11 students starting AQA Paper 1 (Old Spec).
It covers the content to the event in steps which studentscan work on either independently or in groups. The activity for this can be structured in a carousel if you wish. The event has been broken down in simple points as students can sometimes get a little confused with the names and agendas of people in Anschluss. Each step is accompanied by images to prompt memory.
Quick AFL checkpoint in the form of a Pop Quiz is in there.
The penultimate task in this lesson is for students to become familiar with the 10 mark question on Paper 1. Students are provided with the answer and have to figure out the exam technique behind it. What do they need to do and what do they not need to do. The question allows students to use prior knowledge of the Rhineland crisis and students then need to consider which event was more significant in causing ww2.
Model answer & student scaffold are provided as part of the pack and all resources have been produced to an excellent standard.
