Each of the cards below has a question on it. The first letter from each answer becomes an anagram for the final word...

This activity has been designed by pupils from Achaleven Primary & Small Isles Primary in Argyll & Bute.

Although this quiz can be done inside the classroom, the pupils collectively felt that taking the quiz outside to make it interactive was much more fun. One idea was even to build a treasure hunt assault course to answer each question!
