Engage your students with this back to school English trivia game! Students will demonstrate their ability to work in small groups and build collaboration skills while racing to answer English language related questions.
 
HOW TO PLAY:
a) Students must work together to answer each of the questions on the worksheet.
b) When they have answered all the questions, they must go to the teacher to confirm their answers are correct. All answers must be correct before one student can retrieve the next trivia page. 
c) HINT CARDS: If students are stuck, they can hand in a Hint Card in order to get a hint from the teacher. Hint Cards are not free though! Students must complete a task from the Hint Card Challenges before earning their hint. This does create a time restraint but will add an extra layer of fun to this activity.
d) When a small group successfully completes a worksheet, one group member must go to their designated pile to get the next page.
e) Continue until all three pages are complete.
 
WHAT'S INCLUDED:
three worksheets with English language trivia (30 questions total)
Hint Cards
Hint Card Challenges

I use this activity like a race! If possible, take your students outside and get them running! But most importantly, have fun!
