You can run this activity over a number of days or as one longer activity.
There are over 50 questions that need to be cut out and folded over and an answer sheet. Each student picks a question and then answers it on their sheet. The questions are all personal and are designed to reveal a little about their personal history, their thoughts and their interests.
Once complete, they return their questions and pick another.
This can be done alternatively in pairs where the first student would ask their neighbour the question and write down their response so that they are learning about their classmate. The next question has to be asked to someone else and their sheet completed thereby getting to know other people too.
This information can be used for a class display or a quiz based upon their classmates or just for fun to look at the following year.
Sample questions:
What is your favourite photo?
If you could invent anything, what would it be?
Some questions are closed questions, try and get students to expand upon a "Yes," or "No," answer.
This is a power point that looks at many of the events and personalities of 2015 and asks questions about them. The answers are revealed before moving on to the next question.
They are in order of the month in which they occurred and , where appropriate, have further interesting , contextual information.
This is an ideal resource for returning to school at form time/register or for a fun lesson.
To give everyone a chance of success, some questions are multiple choice.
Any feedback, good or bad, is gratefully received.
Many thanks.
This is aimed at the US audience so it is ideal for an international classroom. However, many of the questions can be tweaked for the English market.

Each quiz has a selection of 25 questions in different topics with each question having a different points value.
Decide on the points value and topic you want and the appropriate question pops up. Navigate to the answer using the arrows and then use the arrows again to navigate back to the question board. The options that have already been chosen appear on the question board shaded so that the same question cannot be asked twice in any one quiz.
The topics are as follows:
Quiz 1
Born on the 25th - identify the celebrities who have Christmas birthdays.
12 Days of Christmas - What were the gifts from the famous carol?
Christmas haters - Who are the people being described?
Santa Who? - Who are these famous people disguised as Father Christmas?
Christmas Trivia
Quiz 2
Cracker Jokes - finish off the joke.
Movies - identify the Xmas movie from the picture.
Santagrams - unravel the Xmas themed anagram.
Santa International - What is Santa known as around the world?
Santa Who? - Who are these famous people disguised as Father Christmas?
I'd split the class into groups and have each group take it in turns but it can be managed in many ways.
Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated, either positive or developmental.
Happy Christmas.
Each sheet encourages students to recall information and then use that information to answer a GCSE style question. I have used this successfully with all of my students but I concentrated on my lower attaining students trying to get them to plan their answers rather than just writing what came into their heads.
In later revision sessions I used them in conjunction with a stopwatch, timing how long it took students to answer and encouraging them to spend a minute per mark ( a 4 mark question should be completed in 4 minutes).
Because there are 4 sheets, each student can work on a different one to their neighbour and although they can share information, they wont be able to directly copy.
If possible, please leave feedback, good or bad as it helps with any future resources I provide.
Thanks you.
If you've seen 'Only Connect' on BBC 2 then you're probably a geek. Welcome to my world!
This quiz is entirely based on that premise with four separate rounds of 10 questions.
Round 1 is the missing vowels round where students have to work out the different flavours of crisps from the consonants that remain.
Round 2 is Connections. What is the link between four different images/photographs.
Round 3 is missing vowels again but instead of crisp flavours it's Pokemon names.
Round 4 is Sequences. This time there are 3 images or pieces of information, students have to work out what the fourth could be.
Each slide comes with a full answer to assist in understanding, whether this is on the screen or in the notes.
I'd suggest that students do this in groups as it can be quite challenging but it has been deliberately aimed at secondary students with popular culture references as well as more educational references.
This is designed not to test knowledge but to test critical thinking skills.
Any feedback, positive or developmental, greatly appreciated.
This is a quiz to be used for fun at Easter.
There are three rounds, each with 10 questions.
The first round is Eggs, the second is Easter around the World and the third is The Easter Story.
I've tried to make it applicable to all by making the quiz fun and informative rather than pursuing a religious ideal, however I did think it important that we look at why Easter is such an important religious festival whether we celebrate it in that way or not.
The answer to each question is revealed before moving on to the next question, therefore I would suggest that answers are written on a whiteboard and points allocated accordingly before moving on to the next question.
Each question has some supporting information to either explain the answer or to give some further contextual information.
The last page has a question that encourages debate, it's not part of the quiz but can fill in some time should it be required. It's entirely at your own discretion.
All feedback, positive or negative is gratefully received.
It's called the Christmas quiz just because I used it at Christmas with my GCSE class this year. It can be used at any time. The quiz starts with some multiple choice questions related to the GCSE course before getting into some random and often ridiculous questions that are supposed to be for a bit of fun (but often resulted in arguments between teams when completed)! Feedback, good or bad is appreciated.

Each brainteaser has it's own slide and the answer appears on the following slide. They are all really obvious but only when you know the answer!
Ideal for keeping the form occupied or for those awkward moments when you finish a lesson early or have to do an emergency cover.
Any and all feedback gratefully received.
This is a UK resource and therefore some terminology/spellings will need to be changed for the US (e.g. colour/color).

These are two game show power-points with 25 questions each on various topics and each worth different points.
Students decide which topic and what points value question they wish to go for. Use the arrows to navigate and reveal the answers.
The topics are as follows:
Board 1:
Capitals
Top Scorers
Trivia
Captains
Badges
Board 2:
Twitter
Host Cities
Famous French
Trivia
French Phrases
The higher the points value, the harder the question so they should be challenging to all. Some of the topics, although related to football and the Euros, require no football knowledge at all making them accessible to all and not just the fanatics looking forward to the tournament.
All you (or your representative) need to do is keep score.
I would consider having teams who nominate an answer before the reveal.
Any feedback, positive or negative, is greatly appreciated.
