Based on the popular Mock the Week Game segment, this game presents students with an answer and then they must answer with a question that would fit with the answer. This resource has general historical questions in it which could be used for Open Evenings.
Included in the pack is a teacher sheet which displays all the answers. As with all games of this nature, whilst you are looking ideally for the question detailed, credit should be given for questions which are still true.
This is a fun way to deal out history rewards to students whilst encouraging revision. Each unit first year of teaching has at least 8 stickers for students to collect.

This can be expensive to run in school therefore it’s suggested that students contribute towards the cost of the book where appropriate.
