Teac he r

This quizzes in this book are designed to be used as either whole-class activities or as independent activities for early finishers. The questions are general knowledge and contain many questions relevant to Australia (history, politics, sports, geography, current events and so on). Within each set of questions each round is progressively more difficult than the previous round.

The book is modelled on the popular TV show, “Who Wants to be a Millionaire” and it contains 32 quizzes which all follow the same format – each contains three rounds of multiple choice quiz questions. The students read each question carefully and then circle their choice for the correct answer. At the completion of Round 3 students are given the answers (contained at the back of the book). Students then colour “cash blocks” up to the amount that they have answered correctly, bearing in mind the designated Safe Zones. Students must answer an entire round carefully before they enter the Safe Zone.

For example: If a student is working on a quiz and answers the first four questions of Round 2 correctly but wrongly answers the final question, he/she must only shade in up to $1000 at the end of Round 1. Even if students answer questions in Round 3 correctly, the most that they can receive for that quiz is $1000. Whatever they get right in Round 3 is not counted as they had an incorrect answer BEFORE they started that round.

Extension Ideas

Role-Play: Students can pair up to complete each sheet with one student acting as the “quizmaster” and the other student acting as “contestant”. Combine the activity with drama and ask students to act out their roles. You can even set up other students in the class to be the “Phone-a-Mate” person and also involve class members in the quiz by allowing contestants to “Ask the Class” for help with the answer.

Ask students to think of other ways that the contestant can be given clues.

Competition: Incorporate the sheets into a weekly competition involving play-offs between high-scoring students. There are enough quizzes for almost one school year. Record scores on the Tally Sheet on Page 4.

Research: Instead of being completed as a straight-out quiz, the sheets can be used as research activities where students go to the library to find the answers.
