This is a fun quiz of the school year, 2022-3 which is suitable for Years 7-11. A visually appealling end-of-year final lesson quiz that you can use with each of your classes. Can also be split into rounds to fill a whole week for form times. There are 60 questions in total (plus a tie-breaker), a printable answer sheet, and of course all the answers. You will get both a PDF version and adaptable PowerPoint version of this quiz. Tried and tested on my own classes, this quiz takes 50-55 minutes for teams to complete the quiz and mark each others’ answers. Round 1: In the News (multiple choice; current affairs events from each month of the last school year) Round 2: Song Lyrics (identify the song and artist; all 2022-3 UK chart toppers) Round 3: Films and Television (identify the film from its poster; identify the television show from its cast) Round 4: Social Media (multiple choice; trends, platforms and celebrities) Round 5: Sport (multiple choice; full range of sports from the last year) Round 6: Brands (guess the brand from the ‘zoomed in’ image) I’m trying to build up my tes shop so, if you enjoy this resourcce, I’d be really grateful for your reviews.
