The News Quiz May 20th - June 3rd 2024 Form Tutor Time Current Affairs

Muddy boots! We are now virtually into MONTH SIX of 2024!

Here in the sunny North West we are on HALF TERM next week (hoorah!), so this one takes us up to June 3rd.

2024 continues with ever more testing, increasingly expensive, unpredictable, record-breaking and emotional times we’ve seen recently with a variety of stories from around the world!

What a week once again - Premier League finally ends, Spanish fireball, Mount Ruang erupts, Espresso at one, contaminated water upset, Imola Grand Prix, a live portal reopens, an insult in danger of fading away, undisputed boxing champ, King & Queen of the Ring, AI voice complaint and Chelsea Flower Show 2024! What exactly happened? Well, 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.

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. :)
