Covering all 20 of the Core Studies for the new OCR Specification. A multiple choice quiz featuring seven rounds, with a bonus round after each. To run this quiz, I ask students to work in teams and give 20 points (sweets) as a starting currency. Then for each multiple choice round, the team with the most correct answers gets 4 more, second most gets 3 more etc. After each multiple choice round (other than the final round) is a bonus round. Select a team at random to do the bonus round by picking a letter from the slide. Uncover the question/instruction underneath by deleting the letter and removing the shading from the cell. Students answer that question and are given 3 sweets for every mark they get. Highly engaging (but very active for you!) (Answers included in separate document). Will take approx. 2.5 hours
