"Z-A" quiz generator - ideal for lesson starters/plenaries!

How to play:

Organise your students into teams.
Your list of terms will slowly be revealed, letter by letter, in reverse alphabetical order.
Students raise their hands as soon as they think they can:
- EITHER identify what the terms are (for 1 point)
- OR identify what all the terms have in common (for 2 points)
- OR explain which one is the odd one out (for 3 points)
As soon as a hand is raised, the teacher 'stops the clock' to hear the answer.
If the team answers incorrectly, it is frozen out of further play and the game resumes.

Still unclear? Watch the short video (right) and/or play a sample quiz.

How to create your own:

In the first line of the box, provide a list of comma-separated terms.
- (Optional): Add an equals symbol ("=") at the end followed by a suggested answer.
Repeat for the second and subsequent lines in the box for further 'rounds' of the quiz.
