Quiz suitable for fun end of year or Christmas lessons
Accessible for a good KS3 class or perhaps a foundation GCSE class
All questions are in German, but use the simplest language possible. Where relevant, I have included the English translation of 1-2 keywords on the same slide.
There are five rounds, each with eight questions. All questions are somehow related to the German-speaking world: Geography, Who am I?, Culture and traditions, True or false + History
There is one tiebreaker question
Answers are included on a separate slide after each round
The quiz is available as a .pptx and .pdf file
A free sample of the quiz which shows the design and structure, and offers one sample question per round, can be found here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-12870574
