A starter my students love. The students have 5 mins to complete the game as a group. One student reads a question on their card aloud, and another student gives the answer from their card, followed by the next question on the bottom of the same card. The two sets of cards I have included are a mixture of general knowledge and EDUQAS English revision. Set 1: general knowledge & paper 1 writing (short story) revision. Set 2: general knowledge & paper 1 reading (fiction) revision. It’s also a Microsoft Word template, so you can reuse with your own questions.
