World Cup 2018 Country Flags Matchup Sheet Starter Activity Keywords Cover PE Sport

(3)
<p>Country Flags sheet of keywords on the theme of ‘World Cup 2018’.</p> <p>Powerpoint so can be used on the board or printed as a worksheet.</p> <p>Includes space for students to explain the keywords and suggested extension activities. Can take 10 minutes or an hour, depending on which activities the students complete.</p> <p>Ideal for the start of a lesson, a quick filler, a homework, part of a cover lesson or as a plenary on the board with a whiteboard pen.</p> <p>The idea behind these is to get students to become more literate and think independently about the words that could be used to describe the topic being taught. The repetition of the word over and over as they look for the word is useful in remembering the terms. Often the students will pick up on things that you would not normally expect!</p>

<p>Oh boy, it’s baaaaaaaaacck! For the FOURTEENTH year! 60 questions based on the world’s happenings over the last year of January to December 2024. Covers News, Media, Celebs, Music, Food, Politics and general what’s been happening. I’ve tried to keep it light and not too much heavy drama as we deserve a bit of fun after the year we’ve all just had!</p> <p>And, muddy boots, what a year! How much can YOU remember?</p> <p>TV drama injustice, gaming record broken, Microsoft keyboard change, BT cabinets change, DJ OBE, massive spider, snooker champ reigns, Fifa Awards, Stick Season sticks around, Australian festival, gamers health worries, mini eggs price shock, more strikes, vapes under law review, Royal health fears, Superbowl 58, best-behaved children’s names, woman meets shutters, Beyonce returns, grafitti artist hits news once again, holiday price increase, city charges entrance fee, bedroom walls shock, Eurovision, squirrel invasion, Premier League champs, Espresso reigns, Del’s dying insult, undisputed boxing champ, FA Cup winners, we land on the dark side of the moon, supermarket locks up chocs, Disney sequel, a new Prime Minister, Euro 2024, ticket price criticism, a Star Wars legend passes, Beetlejuice!

It’s been a full year!</p> <p>The questions are student-accessible being a range of news based events, celebrity, music and movies covering a wide range of topics to make it so there’s something for everyone.</p> <p>Split into 4 rounds of three months each. Good for filling an hour in the last week of term and a good informal one to do with your form if you have an hour to fill with something that’s not just a ‘watch a video’ and you actually want to spend some time with your class! I tend to pad it out into an hour and a half with discussions, sweets, prizes and rewards between and during rounds.</p> <p>Answer sheet for students to fill in on final slide.</p> <p>Lasts around 60 minutes with a form, I usually split them into groups and give rewards etc.</p> <p>Have a good Christmas break and see you in January 2025! Flying trains maybe next year?</p> <p>PS, if anything exciting happens I will alter the last couple of December questions and reupload before the end of term, would be free to re-download in that event!</p> <p>:)</p>

Covers News, Media, Celebs, Music, Politics and general what’s been happening.</p> <p>The weekly version of this quiz, which the questions are taken from, is uploaded each week of the term, ALL YEAR LONG! More than ten years and still going strong :) Many thanks to everyone who downloads this each week/year, it is very much appreciated and I’m glad it is useful for your form groups!</p> <p>The questions are pupil-accessible being a range of news based events, celebrity, music and movies covering a wide range of topics to make it so there’s something for everyone.</p> <p>Split into 4 rounds of three months each, with the final round having four months. Good for filling an hour in the last week of term and a good informal one to do with your form if you have an hour to fill with something that’s not just a ‘watch a video’ and you actually want to spend some time with your class!</p> <p>Answer sheet for students to fill in on final slide.</p> <p>If anything huge happens in the last few weeks I will alter the last couple of questions to reflect eg Euro 2021, lockdown etc…</p> <p>Lasts around 45-60 minutes with a form, I usually split them into groups and give rewards after each round.</p> <p>Have a good Summer break!</p> <p>:)</p>
