How to prepare your questions

Before you create your official question cards, follow these steps carefully in your pairs:

  1. In pairs, use your rough notebook (*carnet de brouillon*) to write six multiple-choice questions about South Africa.
  2. You must write one question for each category:
    • 📚 History
    • 🌍 Geography
    • 🎬 Cinema
    • 🎭 Culture
    • 🏉 Sport
    • 🎤 Personalities
  3. Each question must have:
    • ✔ A clear and correct question
    • ✔ One correct answer
    • ✔ Three false answers (but believable!)
    • ✔ The category it belongs to
  4. Make sure you both agree on the answers.
  5. Show your questions to the teacher for checking and approval.
  6. Once they are approved, you can copy them neatly onto your Trivial Pursuit cards.
  7. Give them to the teacher, and get ready to play!

Reminder: Your questions must be connected to what you’ve learned about South Africa in class!
