Fun Lesson Starter - A George Osborne Quiz

Jonny Clark

10th December 2015

Go on, it's nearly Christmas! I'm sure that you've seen our Christmas quiz but if you wanted another 5 minute fun quiz to engage with your students then why not try our new George Osborne game. It uses our 'Can You Beat Bernard?' quiz format where 8 multiple choice questions about Osborne are presented to your students. Their task is to get more answers right than Bernard - a clever chimp but one who only randomly chooses his answers.

The question for your students is, can they use their knowledge and intuition to beat a chimp randomly pressing A or B? Of course they can, can't they? Surely, your salient, intelligent students can work out the important traits needed for someone to become the Chancellor of the Exchequer?
