This is a great way to end term one for students who are studying Religious Studies at A-Level.
The quiz presupposes knowledge of the first few topics from Christianity and Ethics but these can easily be changed to suit your scheme of work.
There are three fun rounds and three rounds based on what students have learned for their A-Level.
Quiz Format
Team quiz with students in small Teams
Each question is multiple choice and has a one minute timer bar on the slide
There are six rounds
Each round has ten questions (60 questions total)
It should take around an hour to complete (rounds can be removed or added to suit)
The Rounds
Round 1 - Divine Command Theory
Round 2 - Christmas
This round tests general knowledge of Christmas with some fun and slightly obscure questions!
Round 3 - Bible as a Source of Wisdom
Round 4 - Who’s that philosopher?
This is a picture round - students have to pick from four possible philosophers for each photo

Students are given a date and four possible festivals that are celebrated on that date. All the festivals are celebrated in the month of December
Answers are included at the end of each round
This is a fun starter activity or plenary for students who are studying the Ethics Unit of A-Level Religious Studies.
Students are given one of the six trigger cards.
They then have to go around the room and find three of the smaller cards that fit underneath their ‘heading’. The smaller cards contain statements, quotes and key words that relate to each heading.
The printed sheet is in order, so the first row relates to the first heading, the second the second etc. A few items could arguably fit under multiple headings.
Can be used as a starter or a plenary. I use this as part of a DIRT lesson following a 20 mark essay on Finnis.
This is designed for the Eduqas exam board but will suit other A-Level exam boards as well.

This revision timetable uses the Pomodoro method to allow students to block out their time in 25 minute slots.
The cream lines are for 5 minute breaks and the pale green lines are for 15 minute or lunch/dinner breaks.
Timetable runs from 9am to 8pm
How To Fill in Timetable
There are two methods to filling in the timetable.
First get students to block out unusable time (e.g. classes, football practice etc.)
Method 1: Get students to write a list of all the subjects they are studying. Then allocate a 2 hour time slot to each subject. This means they’ll study 4-5 subjects per day
Method 2: Get students to allocate 25 minute slots to different tasks (e.g. past papers, revision resources, quizzes). They can then allocate different days to different subjects
They should allocate something productive to do in their break time. A productive break should:
Not include screens
Move away from the study space
Involve active movement
