Alphabet Quiz

Write the alphabet on the board. Quickly recap the letters that often cause your students
problems. Choose a player to go first, explain to them that you are going to ask them a question,
the answer to the question begins with the letter A. They have two options: they can attempt to
answer the question or they can say pass. If they choose to answer and they get it right, they
get 1 point but if they get it wrong they lose 1 point. If they choose to pass, then it is the next
students turn but the next student is asked the B question. You continue like this through the
list of questions, every time a question is answered correctly you cross that letter out from the list
on the board. When you reach the end of the list (the Z question) you then return to the top of
the list and work your way through any questions which were not answered the first time around.
NOTE: It is important that students dont shout out the answers to the questions if its not their
turn as that question could be revisited later.
