Answers are revealed either at the end of the round or before the next question so that students don't get bored waiting for the answers. This means that, if you're keeping score, this should be done as the quiz is ongoing. I would utilise whiteboards for the kids to write down their answers and display them either individually or as a group but I've included an answer sheet should you want students to write down their answers.
Please note: This is a UK quiz but most of the questions should be applicable for the US but you may need to check spellings (colour/color) and if not, they can easily be replaced.
Five quizzes where each one has five categories with answers all beginning with the letter of that quiz. Each question has a different points value based upon it's difficulty.
Students select the category and the points value on the powerpoint and are then presented with a question. Navigating using the arrows will reveal the answer and allow you to return to the opening page.
Questions cover a variety of topics from science to celebrity.
There are 25 series of questions based on the letters of the alphabet ( I missed out 'X'). That equates to 125 questions in total.
Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated.
This is is a powerpoint that highlights some of the interesting, unusual and factual moments of 2016.
We start in January and move through to December with 10 questions for each month on a variety of topics. Questions are a variety of multiple choice, true or false, match ups and ordinary questions.
Most slides have additional, contextual information to add interest when the answer is revealed.
Any and all feedback is greatly received, no matter whether it is positive or developmental.
Happy New Year.
This is the classic "Lost at Sea," exercise where students are presented with 15 items that they should rank in order of importance on their life raft having been "Lost at Sea."
It comes with a power point presentation that details the task, gives tips on completion and shows the correct answers.
Also it has a written sheet with the directions on for the students on, an answer sheet for them to complete and an answer sheet for the teacher with rationale for each ranking.
It is entirely up to you how you run the exercise but, for me, the most important part is how the students come to a decision and end up agreeing as opposed to getting the correct answers.
I have done this and the post-mortem discussion is always the most valuable and where one sees the best responses from students.
This has been created to allow students to understand the celebration that is the Rugby League World Cup and hopefully foster an interest in a minority sport at a time of year when there is not an awful lot happening in the world of sport.
I've created this so that all students using it can come complete a workbook that is different from everyone else's but also differentiated to their needs. For example, there are three sheets on Legends, each one has a different task that is aimed at different levels of ability.
Students should/could choose or be given a team to follow and have as their nominated team and spark some extra interest in the tournament.
Pages are interchangeable so that fast workers can readily move onto the next page whereas slower workers can sheets that they may access more readily.
Activities include:
*Research activities on the host nations and history of the tournament.
*Creating your own opening ceremony.
*Matching key terms to their definitions.
*Researching nominated team.
*Focus on legendary players.
*And more
This resource can easily be adapted for the other home nations.
Any and all feedback, positive or developmental, is greatly appreciated.
33 question quiz in a variety of formats (multiple choice, true or false etc.) all associated with St. George. Questions about the actual historical figure and his legend as well as associated topics, including flags and dragons.
Any and all feedback is gratefully received, positive or developmental.
Power point guides students through reviewing the previous year. Students complete 1 of 3 worksheets that asks different questions about the past year (example: Who were your best friends? What could you have done better?) Because the sheets are all different, students won't simply copy their neighbour's information.
Following that activity, students move on to looking forward to 2017 and creating resolutions in four fields: School, Home, Health and Happiness. They are requested to come up with specific steps to enable them to better achieve their resolutions. There is a sheet for them to complete accordingly.
Finally, we try and emulate this with school targets. It would be ideal if these were available but, if not, it could be set as a homework or an extension task to complete. Again, there is a sheet for students to complete if required.
The idea for this was to review the resolutions at regular periods but it would also be nice to keep them all in a folder to get out at this time next year, becoming an ongoing activity and a nice keepsake for students.
Many thanks. Any feedback, good or bad is gratefully received.
There are six rounds to this quiz with the vast majority of questions being of a nature where the football mad kids who know all the stats will get as many correct as those who rely on guesswork therefore making it very inclusive.
Round 1 : Multiple choice . 10 Questions about previous tournaments and this years tournament.
Round 2 : The Picture Round. 5 pictures of celebrities who were half-decent at football in their day followed by 5 pictures of mapped countries that students have to name.
Round 3 : Trivia. 10 Questions on some of the more interesting and unusual aspects of the Euros. Each answer also brings up some additional information to add context to the answer.
Round 4 : Say what you see. 10 Dingbats related to players and places to do with the tournament.
Round 5 : Whose strip? Students have 10 representations of the football kits of some of the teams playing and they have to work out the correct country.
Round 6 : Where was I born? (Sorry, couldn't think of a better title) 10 players who play for a country that they weren't born in. You've got to name the country they were born in.
Tie-breaker about Michel Platini (his playing days not his, alleged, mis-deeds in UEFA).
After every question the answer is immediately revealed or is written in the accompanying notes so that students interest is maintained.
Any feedback, negative or positive is greatly appreciated.
Enjoy the Euros!

I created this resource for my form a few years ago for a bit of fun and it turned into quite an event. I've added to it by creating a true or false quiz for a bit of fun and context to give the students some ideas.
As well as being a bit of a lark, it actually gives students an opportunity to get creative, to do some research and to spread the word about the plight of one of our most entertaining but also threatened animals.
All feedback is gratefully received, whether positive or developmental.
Thanks.
6 rounds of 39 questions all about the past season and the history of the EPL.
Questions vary from multiple choice, match ups and straight forward questions.
No matter how knowledgeable your students are, they'll be challenged and even if they have no interest in sport whatsoever, they'll still be able to participate fully and enjoy the quiz.
This is ideal for the start of the new school year.
Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated, positive or developmental.
I’ve designed this as an ongoing resource to be returned to every regularly for the duration of the World Cup tournament.
It comes with a powerpoint that has all the participating teams on it. If you play the powerpoint then the images will quickly change. Press “S” and the slideshow will stop on a team. Press “S” again to re-start the slideshow. Using this method, each child can randomly select a team to follow. This team will also feature in their booklet as a research project.
The booklet starts with a page about the hosts of the tournament, Russia. It’s a research activity and so access to computers or books is helpful.
Next we look at the geography of Russia and the location of the stadiums. There are two sheets here which look identical but are not. One is aimed at a higher level than the other and this is distinguished by the World Cup icon in the top right. All future differentiated sheets for the higher ability have this icon.
Then we have the history of the tournament and again a differentiated version for lower ability students.
Following is a picture quiz where students have to name the winners of the previous tournaments.
Next is a research project where students are asked to design a poster for their previously selected team. There is a differentiated version for lower ability students with a number of prompt questions to help with research.
The next sheets each relate to the England football team. The tasks are to create a song/rap or chant, to design their football kit.
Next is an art project looking at the work of Wassily Kandinsky, a famous Russian artist with a particularly bright and vivid style. Students are asked to reproduce his work and this can be extended to adapt a football picture into his style of work and a blank canvas for the truly creative.
There then follows a focus on five famous players with an attached fact file and a drawing to colour in. Once this is completed there is a blank fact file for students to pick their favourite player and complete accordingly.
Next comes an English language task where students are asked to conduct a post-match interview with a player of their choice.
Finally there is a puzzle page with riddles and a word-search. The answers are on the final sheet.
There are a number of ways in which you can run this project:
You could compile the workbooks beforehand and hand them out so that they are differentiated to each class members ability.
You could hand out each page individually and then compile them at the end.
My ideal would be that everyone gets a different sheet so that everyone is doing a different task within the same time frame and then they are compiled at the end.
Any feedback, positive or negative, is greatly appreciated.
There are two resources here. The first is an activity book featuring a wide range of activities that encompass geography, history, literacy and numeracy. It's activities include art based tasks as well as creative writing and researching facts.
One of the sheets looks like a duplicate but it isn't, it is a higher level sheet for the more able.
You can hand out the sheets individually, compiling them at the end of the project or put them all together at the start to create a resource that students work through at their own pace.
Included is a team generator on powerpoint which is operated by pressing play and then stopped and started with the 'S' key.
This has been adapted from my previous resource on the FIFA World CUP which was downloaded 2703 times, had a 5 star rating and was selected by the TES team for their Secondary newsletter.
Get ready for the end of term with fun resources to fill in those crazy times that senior leadership schedule but then don't actually plan for! You know what I mean.
Anyway, rant over. Fun quiz about the year we're about to leave behind, a Christmas quiz and a New Year target setting exercise to satiate those senior leaders and convince them that goal setting is the sole route to success!
Sorry, ranting again.
