A Brief History of Music

I made this fun team quiz for the last English lessons of term. It could also be used as a first lesson warmup for students above beginner level, or used multiple times with fresh questions. Students can work in small teams and make funny team names.

Round one (Spelling):

How do you spell~?

1: kitchen

2: musician

Round two (Mystery Pictures):

I showed the students warped or very zoomed in pictures of objects and animals and they simply have to write down what they see. Prepare to get some funny answers!
