I just love a good pub quiz, and so do my students. A pub quiz takes almost no preparation and is tons of fun. It can be used at the beginning or ending of the year or any time in between. How does it work?You let the students form groups. They can even come up with names for their teams. Then they just need a piece of paper and a pen, and you just have to read out the questions (don't read the answers). You give the students time to discuss and choose an answer after every question, then you move on. (For some it would be ideal if you could show them pictures as well, but it is not necessary.) At the end, teams switch their sheets, you tell them the answers and they correct each others answers. The team with the most correct answers wins!The great thing about these questions is that they are all what I call guessable. Most people don't know the answers to these questions, but with some thinking you can make an educated guess. I start the year with this pub quiz with my year 9 students. We use Green Line and the year 9 book focuses on the English-speaking world.Have fun with the material and let me know how it goes. If you have any ideas for more questions, I'd love to hear and include them.

Similar to I have... Who has...? with American English and British English word.Every student gets a card. The extra cards are given to volunteers who will then have more than one card. One student reads eg, "Americans call it cookie."Everyone else has to listen. The student with the British English version then has to read their card, "The British call it bisciut. Americans call it candy."And so on.The students love it if their time (from the first students reading the first card to the last student reading the last card) is timed. That way they can play again and try to beat their own time, or they compete against another class.Alternatively, the students can also walk around with their cards and talk to each other to find their partners and ultimately build one long line.Have fun with the cards! I love constructive feedback!
