The Big Fat News Quiz of the Year 2024 End of Christmas Term Form Tutor Activity Cover Lesson

Oh boy, it’s baaaaaaaaacck! For the FOURTEENTH year! 60 questions based on the world’s happenings over the last year of January to December 2024. Covers News, Media, Celebs, Music, Food, Politics and general what’s been happening. I’ve tried to keep it light and not too much heavy drama as we deserve a bit of fun after the year we’ve all just had!

And, muddy boots, what a year! How much can YOU remember?

TV drama injustice, gaming record broken, Microsoft keyboard change, BT cabinets change, DJ OBE, massive spider, snooker champ reigns, Fifa Awards, Stick Season sticks around, Australian festival, gamers health worries, mini eggs price shock, more strikes, vapes under law review, Royal health fears, Superbowl 58, best-behaved children’s names, woman meets shutters, Beyonce returns, grafitti artist hits news once again, holiday price increase, city charges entrance fee, bedroom walls shock, Eurovision, squirrel invasion, Premier League champs, Espresso reigns, Del’s dying insult, undisputed boxing champ, FA Cup winners, we land on the dark side of the moon, supermarket locks up chocs, Disney sequel, a new Prime Minister, Euro 2024, ticket price criticism, a Star Wars legend passes, Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice!, Summerslam, Paralympics, Brat Summer, Taste of the Summer, Photoograph of the Year, last power station closes, Chinese mummy food found, superhero costume on sale, rocket return, Super League Grand Final, NASA investigate moon, F1 World Champion, huge election, Tyson fights agin, Sailor Song catches on, Mexican festivals, 1D sad news, tickets sellout, musical movie, Word of the Year, storm chaos and I’m A Celebrity winner! It’s been a full year!

The questions are student-accessible being a range of news based events, celebrity, music and movies covering a wide range of topics to make it so there’s something for everyone.

Split into 4 rounds of three months each. Good for filling an hour in the last week of term and a good informal one to do with your form if you have an hour to fill with something that’s not just a ‘watch a video’ and you actually want to spend some time with your class! I tend to pad it out into an hour and a half with discussions, sweets, prizes and rewards between and during rounds.

Answer sheet for students to fill in on final slide.

Lasts around 60 minutes with a form, I usually split them into groups and give rewards etc.

Have a good Christmas break and see you in January 2025! Flying trains maybe next year?

PS, if anything exciting happens I will alter the last couple of December questions and reupload before the end of term, would be free to re-download in that event!
