Subject question trivia quizzes
Try to make a general knowledge question using one of the question starters below which only one person in the class will get right. You won’t get any points if more than one person gets is right, or if no one can guess correctly.
Ask about any question starters that you don’t understand, are not sure you used correctly, etc, working together to make suitable questions each time.
Why do the questions below not have extra auxiliary verbs (= grammar verbs, as in “Who do you like?” and “When did he come?”)? How are they different from questions that need such verbs?
Work in groups of four or five. Play the same game, but without looking below for help, and with one point if one person in your group can answer correctly.
Share one question which only one person could answer, and see if anyone else in the class knows the answer.
