Halloween Team Quest for Middle School

A Halloween activity which promotes the concepts of working as a team and individually contributing to the success of a team. It is a 51 question, animated, interactive team quiz with built – in scoreboard for up to seven teams. All questions are pictorial and multiple choice. A wide-range of topical and historical general knowledge is included. As well as asking a question, a lot of  slides also provide some interesting snippets about the topic so pupils are expanding their general knowledge as well as enjoying the activity. Topics include:

• history
• geography
• sport
• nature
• science
• music
• astrology
• current affairs
• film 
• art
• flags of the world
• famous people
• famous landmarks

Each team will attempt their general knowledge team round of three questions. The answer to each question must be decided by the whole team. If a wrong answer is given, the next question goes to the first hand up and, if correct, that person’s team get to try the rest of the round. 

Each team will also have to solve the clues to identify a well - known phrase or saying.

There are four lightning rounds in which team members consult to try to identify a slowly revealed person or landmark. 

Additionally there are four unscramble and identify rounds which consists of a picture which has been cut up and rearranged. This is an individual not a team round.

Finally the fifteen - question individual bonus round. This round allows flexibility in terms of the time the quiz takes as not all the questions have to be attempted. The quiz therefore can last between 40 and 50 minutes.

There are also a number of slides which give interesting facts and myths about Halloween and a few scary surprises to make sure no one looses focus!

Full instructions are given on the PowerPoint itself.
