The Christmas Classroom Gameshow (PowerPoint, KS1 + KS2)

The last day of term, sorted. Put this Christmas gameshow on your whiteboard, split the class into teams and let them pick the questions. Click a number on the board, reveal the question, show the answer and award the points. There are separate KS1 and KS2 files with 2 different games in each, so you get 80 original questions, plus a blank board to fill with your own. What makes it different: most Christmas class quizzes are slides you click through in a line. This one is a real game board. Teams choose what they play, the numbers change colour as they are used, and hidden bonus squares keep every team in with a chance right up to the final round. Written for UK primary classes, with British spelling, £ and pence in the maths, and big text that can be read from the back row.
