Summer term quiz of the year 2023

A bumper end-of-term quiz to ensure that your non-exam students are usefully occupied at the end of the school year while also having fun and letting off steam. It’s the perfect end-of-term activity for a tutor group or mixed year groups as there are questions on a whole host of topics for a wide range of ages.

Our big fat quiz includes 65 questions on a summer holiday theme and combines a current affairs quiz with a trivia / general knowledge quiz (aka low-stakes retrieval practice of your students’ subject knowledge!) and some brain-teasing puzzles and riddles.

If you’re with your tutor group all day, why not attempt the whole thing? For shorter sessions, you could do just the first and final rounds or else pick and mix from the questions to compile your own version.

The seven rounds in our end-of-year quiz are as follows:

1. a review of the year’s news
2. a languages round
3. a round of maths / verbal reasoning puzzles
4. a science round
5. a geography picture round
6. a history round
7. a round of rebuses and riddles.

The question types include multiple-choice questions, pictures, puzzles and riddles, with plenty of bonus points up for grabs.

Our fun summer quiz is great for encouraging teamwork, practising communication skills and keeping students focused in the last week or on the last day of term before the summer holidays. To really harness their competitive spirit, why not offer prizes for each round?

Answers are provided in the PowerPoint.
