Halloween Quiz

A great quiz for any lesson, form term or group. Appropriate for secondary school and college students (key stage 4 and 5, 11 to 18 year olds). A range of nine different rounds with a total of 70 questions (some with ten questions, some with five depending on the difficulty and level of interest). The quiz will take between an hour and 1 hour 30 minutes to complete. Appropriate for teams or individuals, but more fun with teams. An answer sheet is included with a teacher’s sheet that includes all the answers.

• Round One: Who is in disguise?
• Round Two: Name the Spooky Song
• Round Three: Which phobia?
• Round Four: Monster Anagrams
• Round Five: Multiple Choice: Superstitions
• Round Six: First and Last
• Round Seven: Halloween Who am I?
• Round Eight: Magic Words
• Round Nine: How to fight a monster
• Tie breakers

Students work through a highly visual PowerPoint answering questions in each round. The animations in the PowerPoint allow you to create interest and allow students time to answer questions. Examples of the Which phobia?, Monster Anagrams, Halloween Who am I? and How to fight a monster rounds are included to make instructions clear and accessible.

The Name the Spooky Song, Which phobia? and Magic Words rounds have an electronic voice reading the lyrics or unusual words for comic effect. Either turn on your speakers, or not, depending on your preference.

Once the quiz has been completed, students mark the answers of the other teams and work through the questions that can create further discussion.
Questions are appropriate to a secondary school and college aged student.

The nine rounds of questions last for between 50 minutes and 1 hour (depending on how much time you give students to answer the questions). Round Two (Name the Spooky Song) and Round Four (Monster Anagrams) can take longer for students to answer. It can be a good idea to give them more than the 60 seconds per anagram in Round Four. You can also give students longer to complete the Halloween Who am I? round. The clues are automatically delivered, but you could leave them on the board to allow students to discuss possibilities in groups. The other questions in the quiz can be moved through at a brisk pace. Working through the answers takes between 15 and 20 minutes. You can slow the progress down or speed it up depending on your group or lessons.

Whole quiz time: 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes.

The PowerPoint can be edited and adapted allowing you to change any questions to suit your students.
