This is a simple trivia quiz about events that happened over the summer break. I always find these types of activities really good for the first lesson after a long break. Students tend to really enjoy them. It gets them talking as well as listening to English when they probably haven’t done so in quite a while.

There are 3 categories: Sport, World News, and Japanese News. 

Each category has 5 questions with question 1 being worth the least amount of points, and 5 being worth the most.

This quiz is ideally suited for Junior 3 and up but can be adapted for younger students. 

Typically, I like to split students into teams for these quizzes, but there are a multitude of ways you can administer this activity.
