Fun end of term quiz! Should take up an entire 60 minute lesson, intended to be shown as a powerpoint presentation with children working in teams to answer the questions. I made this quiz with secondary school and a-level students in mind, although it may also be suitable for older primary school children. This quiz has got 6 rounds with 10 available points in each round. Round 1: Name That Rabbit! (name well known rabbits from films from their pictures) Round 2: Easter Trivia Round 3: Who's Behind The Mask? (name celebrities who have their faces partly covered by rabbit ears and noses) Round 4: Easter Sunday Number 1s (click the eggs to hear songs which have been number one over easter sunday in the last 10 years, and name the song) Round 5: Easter Pictograms (work out which phrases are represented by pictures, all the phrases have something to do with eggs, rabbits or chicks etc.) Round 6: Brainbox (given 60 seconds to look at an easter themed image and then answer questions about it). All answers at the end of the powerpoint.

This 18 slide PowerPoint highlights the ‘Spectacular’ signs of Spring. I have included photographs taken in and around Wythenshawe and a video providing audial and visual aids to celebrate this wonderful time of year. The rhyming string throughout the PowerPoint complements the photographs. This resource would be a great introduction to a nature sound walk for children in early years and a visual aid introducing signs of Spring. The language can be adapted to cater for the needs of your children. Metaphors have been used throughout the poem which would be a great introduction to poetry for older children and also to introduce the use of cameras to capture the beauty of nature.
