GENERAL KNOWLEDGE QUIZ

For the quiz, it is best to divide your class into groups. Hand each group the same reading text (for a better class - two or three texts) from which the group bases its questions.

Instruct the groups to write out their questions together with the answer. The teacher collects the material from the groups and prepares the quiz based on the work done by the students.

Use the questions as a source for question cards in the Board Games

1. Who said ...? 4. Guess the true statement

The quiz should include 2. Odd one out 5. Complete the name

several types of questions 3. Multiple choice 6. Recordings or slides as clues

REMEMBER TO EXPLAIN CLEARLY THE TYPE OF QUESTION

Each team receives a different question to answer. This keeps the game going at a good pace. You can use a system where there are open questions and the team to "buzz" first gets a chance to answer or where each team has a turn and if it answers incorrectly another team gets the question.

If you want to make the quiz more interesting, you can group the questions into subjects and grade them according to difficulty (10 / 20 / 30 / 40 / 50 points). Ask each team to choose a subject each turn and for how many points.
