This was the quiz that I hosted for our annual Drama Department Dinner. 5 rounds, takes approximately 45 mins/1 hour or so depending on numbers and method of scoring (we used the teacher table to score). Our students are placed into different Theatre Companies (drama houses) for various events that they partake in each year.
Round 1 - General Theatre, Film & TV
Round 2 - Music Round - Name Musical & Song
Round 3 - School Drama Department (Make these your own!)
Overview of Resources:
These resources are for a complete quiz event.
Included:
Quiz Questions
Quiz Answer Sheets
Please note:
You will have to supply the music for the music round (Round 4). You can source these on Youtube / Spotify. Ensure you cut off with the last line prompt or it may give away the title of the song or some other key piece of information.
You will also have to tailor the questions in Round 3 to your own school’s drama department. You can use mine as a basis.
