Quizzes and trivia games can make a nice change from more typical EFL style activities and it may give students who aren't the best at English a chance to shine in another area. Quizzes work really well with big groups and can be written so that they focus on specific target language that the teacher wishes to cover, for example, particular vocabulary items such as country names, or grammatical structures such as question forms.
Preparing trivia quizzes can be quite time consuming. The internet is the most obvious source of trivia if you want to prepare a quiz.
The categories can vary but here are some suggestions:
Geography
Science and nature
History
The news
Films
Music
Famous people
Procedure
Put students into teams and get them to think of a team name.
Prepare answer sheets in advance or get students to do this at the beginning.
At the end of each round, ask the teams to pass their answer sheets to the next group and go through the answers for the other teams to mark.
Keep a record of the running total on the board as you go through the quiz. This will help to keep students interested and following the progress of the teams.
If your students are into trivia and quizzes you could involve them in preparing the questions. This will obviously save you preparation time and give your students valuable practice in forming questions.
