I’ve designed this as an ongoing resource to be returned to every regularly for the duration of the World Cup tournament. It comes with a powerpoint that has all the participating teams on it. If you play the powerpoint then the images will quickly change. Press “S” and the slideshow will stop on a team. Press “S” again to re-start the slideshow. Using this method, each child can randomly select a team to follow. This team will also feature in their booklet as a research project. The booklet starts with a page about the hosts of the tournament, Russia. It’s a research activity and so access to computers or books is helpful. Next we look at the geography of Russia and the location of the stadiums. There are two sheets here which look identical but are not. One is aimed at a higher level than the other and this is distinguished by the World Cup icon in the top right. All future differentiated sheets for the higher ability have this icon. Then we have the history of the tournament and again a differentiated version for lower ability students. Following is a picture quiz where students have to name the winners of the previous tournaments. Next is a research project where students are asked to design a poster for their previously selected team. There is a differentiated version for lower ability students with a number of prompt questions to help with research. The next sheets each relate to the England football team. The tasks are to create a song/rap or chant, to design their football kit. Next is an art project looking at the work of Wassily Kandinsky, a famous Russian artist with a particularly bright and vivid style. Students are asked to reproduce his work and this can be extended to adapt a football picture into his style of work and a blank canvas for the truly creative. There then follows a focus on five famous players with an attached fact file and a drawing to colour in. Once this is completed there is a blank fact file for students to pick their favourite player and complete accordingly. Next comes an English language task where students are asked to conduct a post-match interview with a player of their choice. Finally there is a puzzle page with riddles and a word-search. The answers are on the final sheet. There are a number of ways in which you can run this project: You could compile the workbooks beforehand and hand them out so that they are differentiated to each class members ability. You could hand out each page individually and then compile them at the end. My ideal would be that everyone gets a different sheet so that everyone is doing a different task within the same time frame and then they are compiled at the end. Any feedback, positive or negative, is greatly appreciated.

5 rounds of festive fun to deal with those times when the curriculum dictates your class must do something festive! Round 1 - Multiple Choice Round 2 - Christmas Movies. Students are presented with the titles of classic Christmas movies but without the vowels in. Harder than it sounds. Round 3 - Presents. Round 4 - Celebrity Santa Round 5 - Trivia Guaranteed that there are questions here whose answers will fascinate and amuse in equal measure. Any and all feedback gratefully appreciated. Merry Christmas!

6 rounds of 39 questions all about the past season and the history of the EPL. Questions vary from multiple choice, match ups and straight forward questions. No matter how knowledgeable your students are, they'll be challenged and even if they have no interest in sport whatsoever, they'll still be able to participate fully and enjoy the quiz. This is ideal for the start of the new school year. Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated, positive or developmental.

33 question quiz in a variety of formats (multiple choice, true or false etc.) all associated with St. George. Questions about the actual historical figure and his legend as well as associated topics, including flags and dragons. Any and all feedback is gratefully received, positive or developmental.

This has been created to allow students to understand the celebration that is the Rugby League World Cup and hopefully foster an interest in a minority sport at a time of year when there is not an awful lot happening in the world of sport. I've created this so that all students using it can come complete a workbook that is different from everyone else's but also differentiated to their needs. For example, there are three sheets on Legends, each one has a different task that is aimed at different levels of ability. Students should/could choose or be given a team to follow and have as their nominated team and spark some extra interest in the tournament. Pages are interchangeable so that fast workers can readily move onto the next page whereas slower workers can sheets that they may access more readily. Activities include: *Research activities on the host nations and history of the tournament. *Creating your own opening ceremony. *Matching key terms to their definitions. *Researching nominated team. *Focus on legendary players. *And more This resource can easily be adapted for the other home nations. Any and all feedback, positive or developmental, is greatly appreciated.

I created this resource for my form a few years ago for a bit of fun and it turned into quite an event. I've added to it by creating a true or false quiz for a bit of fun and context to give the students some ideas. As well as being a bit of a lark, it actually gives students an opportunity to get creative, to do some research and to spread the word about the plight of one of our most entertaining but also threatened animals. All feedback is gratefully received, whether positive or developmental. Thanks.

This is the classic "Lost at Sea," exercise where students are presented with 15 items that they should rank in order of importance on their life raft having been "Lost at Sea." It comes with a power point presentation that details the task, gives tips on completion and shows the correct answers. Also it has a written sheet with the directions on for the students on, an answer sheet for them to complete and an answer sheet for the teacher with rationale for each ranking. It is entirely up to you how you run the exercise but, for me, the most important part is how the students come to a decision and end up agreeing as opposed to getting the correct answers. I have done this and the post-mortem discussion is always the most valuable and where one sees the best responses from students.

This is is a powerpoint that highlights some of the interesting, unusual and factual moments of 2016. We start in January and move through to December with 10 questions for each month on a variety of topics. Questions are a variety of multiple choice, true or false, match ups and ordinary questions. Most slides have additional, contextual information to add interest when the answer is revealed. Any and all feedback is greatly received, no matter whether it is positive or developmental. Happy New Year.

Power point guides students through reviewing the previous year. Students complete 1 of 3 worksheets that asks different questions about the past year (example: Who were your best friends? What could you have done better?) Because there are 3 different sheets, students won't simply copy their neighbour's information. Following that activity, students move on to looking forward to 2017 and creating resolutions in four fields: School, Home, Health and Happiness. They are requested to come up with specific steps to enable them to better achieve their resolutions. There is a sheet for them to complete accordingly. Finally, we try and emulate this process but with school targets. It would be ideal if these were available but, if not, it could be set as a homework or an extension task to complete. Again, there is a sheet for students to complete if required. The idea for this was to review the resolutions at regular periods but it would also be nice to keep them all in a folder to get out at this time next year, becoming an ongoing activity and a nice keepsake for students. Many thanks. Any feedback, good or bad is gratefully received.

If you've seen 'Only Connect' on BBC 2 then you're probably a geek. Welcome to my world! This quiz is entirely based on that premise with four separate rounds of 10 questions. Round 1 is the missing vowels round where students have to work out the different flavours of crisps from the consonants that remain. Round 2 is Connections. What is the link between four different images/photographs. Round 3 is missing vowels again but instead of crisp flavours it's Pokemon names. Round 4 is Sequences. This time there are 3 images or pieces of information, students have to work out what the fourth could be. Each slide comes with a full answer to assist in understanding, whether this is on the screen or in the notes. I'd suggest that students do this in groups as it can be quite challenging but it has been deliberately aimed at secondary students with popular culture references as well as more educational references. This is designed not to test knowledge but to test critical thinking skills. Any feedback, positive or developmental, greatly appreciated.

9 rounds of over 50 questions with a total mark out of 70. Each round is called an episode in keeping with the Star Wars saga. Episode 1: Droids. Names of droids that appear in the movie or red herrings. Episode 2: Match the titles to the episode. Episode 3: Name the roles that these actors play. Episode 4: True or false, did these people have roles in the films? Episode 5: Match the planets to the characters. Episode 6: Name the character that these lightsabres, blasters and spaceships belong to. Episode 7: Match the quotes to the character who speaks them. Episode 8: Locations. Where on Earth were these famous scenes shot? Episode 9: Match the titles to the character. Lots of pictures with some easy questions for general fans and a few tricky ones to separate the Darths from the Anakins. Answers are given after each question so that students get immediate satisfaction. May the Force be with you.

This is aimed at the US audience so it is ideal for an international classroom. However, many of the questions can be tweaked for the English market. 8 rounds with 60 questions in total on a variety of topics. Hosted by Headingley, the Queen's head butler, the quiz offers a unique and interesting insight into some of the differences between our countries but also some lesser known information about one of the most fascinating countries in the world. Round 1 - Multiple choice - General knowledge Round 2 - True or False - Born in England. Were these celebrities born in England? Round 3 - History Round 4 - Geography - places with the same name in both the US and England Round 5 - Sport - Which positions belong to cricket and which to rugby league? Round 6 - People - Which people are real historical characters and which are myths? Round 7 - Match-up - Match the English terms to their US counterparts. Round 8 - Multiple choice - Trivia When required, answers are revealed with supporting pictures and text boxes with additional information in. I should add that Queen Elizabeth II did not really request this quiz to be made. It was Prince William.

These are two project books that are identical with one being on PDF and the other being on Publisher for your convenience. The whole idea behind this is for students to create their own football club from scratch. It is very design-based with tasks including creating the club badge, designing a kit and drawing the club mascot. There is also a transfer list task which includes adding up the cost of the transfers. www.transfermarkt.co.uk gives up to date values on players should you require them. Other tasks include simply reviewing some kits from the past and giving them the thumbs up or down and picking your first 11 and creating a key to represent them on the football pitch diagram. The final task is drawing a legendary player for their team. There is one blank page for better drawers and a choice of three designs for the less gifted. This could be done all together as a complete project or used sheet by sheet as an extension task or at form time. Any and all feedback gratefully received.

This quiz has very little educational merit whatsoever. It's based on ridiculous things from around the world and is split into 5 rounds of 10 questions each: Round 1 : Ridiculous Superheroes, multiple choice Round 2: Ridiculous names, True or False Round 3: Ridiculous statues, Q&A Round 3: Ridiculous inventions, Q&A Round 5: Ridiculous World Records, Q&A You could run the quiz over a period of time doing a round at a time or as one whole quiz. Answers are revealed immediately so if keeping score that will need to be done after every answer. All feedback, positive or developmental is greatly appreciated.

Five quizzes where each one has five categories with answers all beginning with the letter of that quiz. Each question has a different points value based upon it's difficulty. Students select the category and the points value on the powerpoint and are then presented with a question. Navigating using the arrows will reveal the answer and allow you to return to the opening page. Questions cover a variety of topics from science to celebrity. There are 25 series of questions based on the letters of the alphabet ( I missed out 'X'). That equates to 125 questions in total. Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated.

These are two game show power-points with 25 questions each on various topics and each worth different points. Students decide which topic and what points value question they wish to go for. Use the arrows to navigate and reveal the answers. The topics are as follows: Board 1: Capitals Top Scorers Trivia Captains Badges Board 2: Twitter Host Cities Famous French Trivia French Phrases The higher the points value, the harder the question so they should be challenging to all. Some of the topics, although related to football and the Euros, require no football knowledge at all making them accessible to all and not just the fanatics looking forward to the tournament. All you (or your representative) need to do is keep score. I would consider having teams who nominate an answer before the reveal. Any feedback, positive or negative, is greatly appreciated.

This is an ideal activity for form time or even as a lesson starter to come back to over the year with difficult (boys) groups. The Premier League Quiz has approx 50 questions and match-up activities all in rounds of 10 marks to help you keep tabs on scores. You could even do the quiz over a number of days/weeks as there are 6 separate rounds on topics like 'Last Season', and 'Premier league Legends.' All the question slides are visually stimulating with either photographs or information boxes to add context and interest. As an ongoing activity I have included a Premier League prediction sheet that, in conjunction with the powerpoint presentation will allow students to predict what happens in the next season. These sheets can be re-visited periodically to see how accurate they were. A prize could even be awarded for the most accurate. There is also a number of team selector sheets where students can create their own Premier League team. I have included three different formations and left one blank in case they want to create their own formation. Any and all feedback gratefully received. Any questions, please let me know.
