The News Quiz February 13th - 27th 2023 Form Tutor Time Current Affairs

Oh my goodness me! 2023 continues with the testing, increasingly expensive, unpredictable and emotional times we’ve seen recently with a variety of stories from around the world!

What a week once again - Liverpool back on form, Brit Awards winners, Valentine’s Day Mascara, Miley Cyrus’s reign continues, a year since the conflict, drink name change, Superbowl 57, country rock legends returns, America shoots down ‘objects’, sci-fi tech for UK workers and bizarre Brits fashion designs!!! What does the beginning of 2023 hold in store for us all? 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.

WE’RE ON HALF TERM NEXT WEEK SO THIS ONE TAKES US TO 27TH FEBRUARY. HAVE A GREAT BREAK!

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. :)
