Letter Quiz
March 26th, 2008 · 2 Comments
A familiar style of quiz for use on the Interactive Whiteboard. Click a letter to choose it. Ask the question along the lines of “Which T is a…” Select which team got it right, choose a new letter.
A new set of letters is generated every game but it never includes the letters X and Z.
A bank of questions for Maths is also included. As it is a themed bank some letters are problematic. If anyone can think of better ones for J please comment below.
Go to learning resource.
Get maths question bank.
A user has kindly submitted a greatly expanded set of maths questions for this resource. The variety in this set should allow for much better differentiation as you can pick a question appropriate to the student.
Please contribute any other themed questions you have for this quiz for others to use. to this address:

Another starter/plenary quiz on this site is Bingo.

So do I come up with a word from the letters generated and then go from there?

For general knowledge quizzes I use a dictionary. If the student picks letter T, for example, I flick to the T section of the dictionary and find an appropriate word. Then I ask “What T is a…” and read out the definition.
For more subject specific quizzes you’d need to make a question bank like the Maths one. I will try and come up with some question banks for different subjects but it takes time to come up with three questions for every letter. If anyone does create a question bank and would like to contribute it, it would be very welcome.
