Editing:Edit the questions, correct answer and incorrect answer in the table above. Do not cut this table out of the slide.

Instructions:The aim of this resource is to have an engaging method of delivering a multiply-choice quiz. The resource uses a random generator to select the answers for ‘Bernard’; the chimp in the activity. Are the students able to beat the score of a 50:50 random generator or does their analytical brain lead them to make some errors?

Run the activity from slide 1. Click on ‘start’ to read through instructions and then ‘next’ to read some more instructions. When ready click on ‘start’ to start the quiz.

The first question (and the two possible answers) will appear. Run this game however you want – students can work individually or in small groups. If you have a small class allow them to decide as a whole group. Give them a few moments to decide on their answer. Note: Bernard’s answer is already shown – but remember that this is just a guess!

Find out their answer through discussion. Then elect one student or small group to say which answer they wish to go for.

Click on the chosen answer. The correct answer will now appear. Click on ‘Click here to continue’ to move to the score sheet (comparing Bernard’s score to the students score).

Repeat this process for the remaining 7 questions.
