The News Quiz 14th - 21st June 2021 Form Tutor Time Current Affairs

2021 continues towards the summer hols with Boris extending the lockdown even more …

What a week once again - England win Euros game, Boris announces extension, Blue Weekend at one, sea slime, eclipse, elephants have a rest, G7 summit in England, delta variant symptoms warning, Jeff Bezo puts a space ticket up for auction, insect chocolates (yum yum!), England’s saviour and Dame honours! What will the rest 2021 hold in store for us all? There’s only one way to find out - in the NEEEEEEWWWWSSS QUUUUUUUIIIIIZZZ! :)

New quiz uploaded each week of the term, ALL YEAR LONG! More than ten years and still going strong :) Many thanks to everyone who downloads this, it is very much appreciated and I’m glad it is useful for your form groups!

13 topical questions of the past week’s news, across the UK and the world.

Designed to be used as a 10-20 minute activity in formtime - you could make it a little longer by talking about and discussing some of the questions.

ANY MIS-SPELLINGS/MISSING CAPITALS ETC. IN THE PREVIEW ARE INTENTIONAL AND LINK TO THE LITERACY QUESTIONS IN THE REST OF THE QUIZ!

Powerpoint so can be used on a standard whiteboard.

Includes 2 literacy and 1 numeracy questions based on the other questions.

Works well as a form group activity in registration time - I give sweets to the winning team (we’re not supposed to give sweets out, so it’s a nice ‘naughty’ reward and makes (some of) them watch and check their apps about the news in the week. :) So glad to still be back and able to do this as a form in an actual classroom!
