An interactive (don't worry all instructions are in the notes panel for each slide) 23 slide PowerPoint based quiz covering a range of things from 2017. Sufficient rounds and activities for an hour - but could be cut into separate shorter sessions easily. I have included some images in the files attached to give a preview. Included are; Two rounds of family fortunes (including all noises and clickable answers) - you could take this and make more rounds [festive or not] from this template... An advent calendar of sports to name the winners of blue ribband events this year around the world... A number of 'mystery' people from 2017 that appear from behind a myriad of Christmas decorations covering their face... A round of matching the key events to given dates ... A round of can you spot the celebrity with a Christmas birthday?... A round of spot the winners from the reality TV shows of the year... Two rounds of higher or lower based on key numbers from 2017... The obligatory music round - spot the lyrics from the songs released this year with sound bite samples of the originals... And five rounds of 'word of the year' based on Countdown's letters game - another template you could easily adapt which includes working clock and 30 second music. I have decided to charge for this resource as it has taken me seven hours to compile (albeit on a snow day!). I have not included a scoring system, as every class is different. But I think that this would lend itself well to teams - the choice though I have left to you! Enjoy.

Each resource can be edited fully to meet a groups needs, and I have included notes at the foot of each resource to explain how they are intended to be used, including how to run the range of activities each is reinforced with.

A rating is entered as a number 1,2,3,4, or 5 against each element. The 'Analysis' tab compiles all of the information onto one page to allow; an overview of CPD need; identification of delivery responsibility and inform subject priority. The RAG+ rating (which can be edited) defines as: 5 (Purple) I have expertise in this topic; I would be confident to provide CPD in this area; I know how to deliver this content to allow students to confidently access full marks in exams. 4 (Blue) I have very secure subject knowledge in this area; I know how this topic area will be assessed in exams 3 (Green) I understand the key features of this topic, but would need to spend some time brushing up on aspects before delivering it; I would welcome chance to discuss this topic in the department to clarify some points; I have not taught this topic before, and may not be able to answer some student questions. 2 (Amber) I have an outline understanding of the topic but would need support to feel confident enough to teach it; I would feel uncomfortable if students asked stretching questions in this area. 1 (Red) I am unfamiliar with this topic, and would not be able to deliver it without significant preparation which may include internal/external support. Teachers can add comments against each section when a RAG+ rating does not allow a representative picture. The two images in the files section will give you a preview of a completed audit for Business.

A PowerPoint based quiz. Click on the number to select a random question (based on past papers) - once finished, click on the man and you come back to the number board to go again (the already chosen numbers fade out).
