Distance Learning or Remote Learning Quiz KS3
A fantastic end-of-year or back to school activity but really the ideal any-time vehicle to promote community and communication between teachers and students and which also introduces that important element of healthy competition - so often missing in distance learning. The competition can be run for individual classes or across several classes and offering a prize and running a “coming to your computer soon” campaign for a few days before fires interest and enthusiasm.
How it Works
The design of this fully - animated quiz is unique and is specifically tailored to quizzing at a distance.
Students complete the quiz which automatically records the score and the time taken.
They then take a screenshot or photograph of their final score or time and email it to their teacher.
The winner is the student with the highest score and in the event of a tie, the student with the lowest time wins.
The time penalties for each question mean that those pupils who have cheated and looked up the answers online are unlikely to win.
On selecting a wrong answer, the student is immediately provided with the correct answer.
Question Content
All questions are pictorial and multiple choice. A wide-range of topical and historical general knowledge is included. As well as asking a question, most slides also provide some interesting snippets about the topic so pupils are expanding their general knowledge as well as enjoying the activity. Topics include:
geography
history
sport
nature
current affairs
science
music
astrology
astronomy
flags of the world
famous people
famous landmarks
Types of Question
Straight forward select the correct answer.
Unscramble the picture to identify the object.
Memory test – answer questions on the order and detail of objects which have passed on a conveyor belt.
Memory test – Give the coordinates of fish before and after they swim around a pond.
Identify the slowly - revealed animal or famous location.
Identify the well – known phrase or saying from animated clues.

Suggested lesson plan showing choices possible between resources
This pack contains 18 printable resources and it is intended that the teacher uses them to build their own unique lesson to take account of student ability and time available. Literacy, oracy, self-assessment and peer assessment are all built in to the resources. These features are clearly marked on the comprehensive one-page flow chart lesson plan which shows where the logical choices between resources can be made.
