The News Quiz May July 10th - 17th 2023 Form Tutor Time Current Affairs

Oh-my-goodness, we made it the end of the school year!!! THis will be the last weekly one until September, but there will be a BIG FAT END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR one uploaded in the next few days if it is any use to you.

2023 continues with the testing, ever increasingly expensive, unpredictable, record-breaking and emotional times we’ve seen recently with a variety of stories from around the world!

What a week once again - British GP winner, Sprinter still at one, new social media app, Just Stop Oil protest, insect swarm, Dead Club City debut album, rare Harry Potter book sale, movie trailer, movie premiere, drink investigation, UK Wrestlemania news and musicians speak out about fans throwing items!!! What does the rest of 2023 hold in store for us all? A summer holiday around the corner somewhere… 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. :)
