Two ways to run an end of term Xmas quiz. The first, from Curriculum Bits, lets the teacher score right and wrong answers on the whiteboard. With 'Bubblesplat' you ask pupils in turns to splat a bubble to reveal how many points the question is worth. The teacher asks a question and the team gets the bubble points if they get it right. We've also included some topical quizes to use with it.
