Distance Learning or Remote Learning Quiz KS3
A fantastic end-of-year or back to school activity but really the ideal any-time vehicle to promote community and communication between teachers and students and which also introduces that important element of healthy competition - so often missing in distance learning. The competition can be run for individual classes or across several classes and offering a prize and running a “coming to your computer soon” campaign for a few days before fires interest and enthusiasm.
How it Works
The design of this fully - animated quiz is unique and is specifically tailored to quizzing at a distance.
Students complete the quiz which automatically records the score and the time taken.
They then take a screenshot or photograph of their final score or time and email it to their teacher.
The winner is the student with the highest score and in the event of a tie, the student with the lowest time wins.
The time penalties for each question mean that those pupils who have cheated and looked up the answers online are unlikely to win.
On selecting a wrong answer, the student is immediately provided with the correct answer.
Question Content
All questions are pictorial and multiple choice. A wide-range of topical and historical general knowledge is included. As well as asking a question, most slides also provide some interesting snippets about the topic so pupils are expanding their general knowledge as well as enjoying the activity. Topics include:

Rules of the Game
Each player selects seven dominos from the top of the face-down pile and holds them in their hand like playing cards.
The player whose surname begins with a letter closest to the letter A starts and play proceed in a clockwise direction.
Dominos can be matched exactly, or a name can be matched with a symbol or descriptions, sketches and circuit diagrams can be matched.
If a player thinks a match is wrong, they can challenge. If the challenger is correct, they give a card from their own hand to the challenged player. If the challenged player is correct, they give a card from their hand to the challenger. Pupils are encouraged to check their books for the correct answer and consult their teacher if a consensus is not reached.
If a player cannot play a domino, they pick up from the face down pile and can play if possible or add it to their hand.

This teaching pack contains thirteen resources and it is intended that the teacher uses them to build their own unique lesson to take account of student ability and time available. Literacy, oracy, self-assessment and peer assessment are all built in to the resources. These features are clearly marked on the comprehensive one-page flow chart lesson plan which shows where the logical choices between resources can be made. There are three differentiated and engaging homeworks which can also be used as classwork if so desired.
The game is closely related to the topic content and reinforces learning. It is enjoyable and suitable for all abilities in that it can be played by simply matching the pictures but presents a challenge for those who are able to match a picture with another which means the same.
