The News Quiz December 4th - 11th 2023 Form Tutor Time Current Affairs

Allonsy! We’re now approaching the end of half-term 2 and just a few weeks 'til Christmas hols!!!

2023 continues with the testing, ever increasingly expensive, unpredictable, record-breaking and emotional times we’ve seen recently with a variety of stories from around the world!

What a week once again - Nineties Boy-Band returns, Word of the Year (have you got it?), TV license increase, movie prequel release, 1973 towers demolished, icy temperatures, football club fails to control players, volcano erupts, new skyscraper sport, super-strong cheese unveiled, musician debuts new songs and look and Christmas mischief afoot! There’s only one way to find out - in the NEEEEEEWWWWSSS QUUUUUUUIIIIIZZZ! :)

New quiz uploaded each week of the term, ALL YEAR LONG! More than ten years and still going strong :) Many thanks to everyone who downloads this, it is very much appreciated and I’m glad it is useful for your form groups!

13 topical questions of the past week’s news, across the UK and the world.

Designed to be used as a 10-20 minute activity in formtime - you could make it a little longer by talking about and discussing some of the questions.

ANY MIS-SPELLINGS/MISSING CAPITALS ETC. IN THE PREVIEW ARE INTENTIONAL AND LINK TO THE LITERACY QUESTIONS IN THE REST OF THE QUIZ!

Powerpoint so can be used on a standard whiteboard.

Includes 2 literacy and 1 numeracy questions based on the other questions.

Works well as a form group activity in registration time - I give sweets to the winning team (we’re not supposed to give sweets out, so it’s a nice ‘naughty’ reward and makes (some of) them watch and check their apps about the news in the week. :)
