Lesson resources. For teachers, by teachers...

This resource is an end of term quiz for use with Geography students of all ages and ability levels. The quiz is played in teams enabling less able students to gain help and support from more able students and at the same time allowing all students to participate. The quiz is divided into 10 rounds, each round designed to test general geographical knowledge as well as covering some topics students may have studied during their Geography lessons. Each round has 10 questions, with one person in each team recording the answers on the attached answer sheet or on plain paper. After each round teams swap with another team and mark the questions from that round, enabling students and teams to see a cumulative score. It is advised to spend approximately 2 minutes on each round, although teachers can vary this as they see fit. The rounds include: Name the Country, North or South?, Natural wonders of the World, Jumbled Cities, Definitions, UK, did you know?, World Feast, Where, what or who am I? Land, sea or air?, Symbols.
