Oooooh boy, it’s baaaaaaaaacck! For the FIFTEENTH year! And what a year, so many highs and lows! 60 questions based on the world’s happenings over the last year of January to December 2025. Covers News, Media, Celebs, Music, Food, Politics and general what’s been happening. I try 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!
And, 6-7, what a year! How much can YOU remember?
Christmas number one, US social media ban, artwork googly eyes, 100 yeqar old President passes, Photo of the Year, Inauguration, lyrics sheet record sale, new spider found, Louvre charges extra, chocolate to return, Gulf rename, new report cards design, India sales allowed again, Messy reigns, a flying vehicle design, strikes, Carabao Cup winners, car sales fall, cinema videogame movie, Pope passes, Katy Perry is out of this world, Premier League winners, Peppa Pig family news, robots vs humans, Eurovision Final, Champions League Final, new console released, dangerous downwhill race, TV series ends (for a while), TV reboot actors revealed, Brian Wilson passes, superhero summer, tennis tournament, another Jurassic movie, primary school goes to space, K-Pop Demon Hunters regins, Labubu must haves, nails ban, artwork removal from Courts, matcha price increase, Emergency Test Alert, world leader visits UK, world’s oldest mummy found, violin sale, Women’s Rugby World Cup, Conservatives spelling error, Life of a Showgirl, unusual World Championships, movie-based stage show, Wicked sequel, record comic sale, an expensive Beef Wellington, Game Awards, Europe’s largest stadium opens, rare pink animal spotted, full moon, Word of the Year, Stranger Things breaks records, Tik-Tokers have Great Plans and I’m A Celebrity winner! It’s been a full year!
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.
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.
Answer sheet for students to fill in on final slide.
Lasts around 60 minutes with a form, I usually split them into groups and give rewards etc.
Have a good Christmas break and see you in January 2026! Robots and holograms next year?
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!
New for 2025! Some new rounds as well as a return of previous favourites!
Easy to follow format, that consists of 12 rounds. 120 questions!
After every two rounds, the answers are provided on the quiz presentation
(I recommend getting students to swap with a neighbouring team to mark)
A double sided answer sheet document is also attached for you to print for your participants to write their answers
In the rare occurance that two teams are tied, or just for fun at the end, there is a “closest answer wins” tie breaker question
The rounds include:
Streaming at its finest (Name the popular television programs that were released this year)
Secret Santa (Name the celebrity behind the Santa disguise)
Merry Christmas fonts (Merry Christmas is written in famous fonts; name the reason it is famous. For example, Merry Christmas may be written in the style/colours of the Coca Cola logo
Santa’s Sat Nav (Name the country Santa is visiting)
One line is all it takes (Name the Christmas movie from a famous quote)
Festive Pictograms (What festive things are represented by the pictures)
Elf of the Shelf’s holidays (Name the festive Cities)
Christmas Advert (Watch the advert and answer questions based on it)
Christmas song emojis. (Guess the song/carol represented by the emojis)
Santa’s Toy Factory Mishap. (Two toys that were popular at Christmas have been mashed together, name the two toys)
Festive Food Jumble. (The names of festive foods have been jumbled up, unscramble them in 5 minutes)
Christmas Wipeout (General Christmas knowledge, multiple choice with extra marks, however if one is wrong, all marks for this round are lost)
Feel free to skip rounds, edit and generally do as you see fit.
Enjoy!

Bubble writing - cursive handwriting scaffold
Like many primary school teachers I have tried a variety of handwriting schemes with varying degrees of success. Having thought through many common problems with handwriting I have developed a simple scaffold that places a bubble either side of the line to support letter formation. This simple scaffold provides a guide to consistently form cursive letters and ensure each letter is uniform in both height and width. Children are able to leave equal spaces between words and see clearly whether or not there is enough space at the end of each line for the next word they intend to write. There has been a huge impact within my class in a very short space of time and I hope you will see similar benefits within your own setting.
Included is a PowerPoint presentation including words from the Year 3/4 spelling list that can be printed as a handwriting pack for children to work through. Blank slides enable you to add words to suit your needs and finally 2 different sized PDF scaffolds that children can use to write on (If photocopied the bubbles will disappear to leave the writing that has been completed.)
