Reverse Quiz Show

Achievements:
Students will learn how to create questions correctly.

Grammar:
Simple tenses and WH - Questions

★ Activity: Instead of answering questions like in a quiz show, students are making the
questions. Each card has a word with a point value. Similar to Jeopardy, you create 5
categories. Each category has 5 questions with harder cards as a higher point value.
In groups of 4, students pick the category and point value. After flipping over the card,
the fastest group to raise their hands make a question. Give a countdown for how fast
they have to respond. Don’t be afraid to give negative points if they are too slow to
respond or make an incorrect question. Students get quite competitive when you tally
points. And this is a good thing.
