AQA A level Biology - maths 'Cluedo'

A ‘cluedo’ style activity, 12 exam-style questions and the possibility to find 12 clues to find who did it, with what weapon in what room! Suitable for use with both year 12 and year 13 students.

I run the activity as an independent one, I cut up the markscheme (with examiners report) and put them at the side of the room. Once pupils have self-marked they come and show me, and I give them a ‘clue’ (a cluedo-style person / weapon / room, I number them 1-12 on the back so I can show the same one for each question to prevent cheating).

They then cross off the person / weapon / room they have just seen until they are left with the ones you picked out at the start of the lesson, at the end of the 12 questions. I then have a little prize (merits / stickers / sweets) for the first person to finish. You can, however, adapt it how you would like!
