What is Grid Quiz?

Grid Quiz is an easy way to conduct a fun quiz in the class that gets everyone involved and crucially doesn’t involve either a lot of preparation or resources

I came up with the idea when faced with please takes and teachers leaving no work behind!

Team Forming

First form your class into small groups

Maximum 4 pupils, probably best to have 2-3

Generate Questions

Pupils are then asked to generate 12 or so questions on a topic

They must include solutions!

Questions can include a variety i.e.:True or FalseMultiple ChoiceOdd One Out

The Grid

Once the time for creating questions is over you then draw a Grid on the board

Numbers at top is the rounds

Letters are the Teams Put the Xs in!

1 2 3 4

A X

B X

C X

D X

Round One Begins

Round 1 begins with a member of Team A coming up and asking their best 3 questions

(only 3 because you don’t want duplicates later, that’s why they compete 12!)

First to answer correctly gains a mark for their team

Team A cannot answer their own round, hence the X!

Scoring

After Round 1, The Grid could look like this:

Team B have got 1 right

Team C have got 2 correct (1 + 1)

1 2 3 4

A X

B 1 X

C 1 1

X

D X

Next…

Continue on until all rounds have been played and hopefully you will have found a winner

It works best with a lot of teams

In this example Team C win with 5 correct

1 2 3 4

A X 1 1 1 3

B 1 X 1 2

C 1 1

1 X 1 1

5

D 1 1 X 2

Different variations of scoring and answering can take place

Wrong answers can mean a mark taken off

Or you can increase number of questions asked

You can even include a bonus round of questions asked by you which may be worth double points

Please try this with your classes and feedback to me how you get on
