What you need

A set of questions where the answers begin with SC - download resource

Intro

Scintillating, scrumptious, scurrilous and scrabbled – there are many words that begin with SC, which is why creating a quiz around words beginning with SC is so easy to organise and fun to play!

Quizzes are a brilliant way to give everyone’s grey cells a gentle work out, and if you want to introduce a little light-hearted competition, then go for it! Just remind people that it doesn’t matter if they don’t know all the answers. Getting things wrong and then learning something new can be just as rewarding.

Top tip

Congratulate everybody for any answers they give, even if they’re wrong. This activity is all about encouraging your quizzers to think.

The Activity

Gather the group together and start the quiz by either quizzing the whole group or asking each person to answer a question in turn
If you quiz people individually and someone struggles to answer, the group can step in and help – or extra clues can be given
If someone knows the answer but can’t find the words to articulate it, make sure you congratulate them for knowing, before you reveal the correct answer
If you’re playing competitively, keep scores and award the winner a small prize
