Quizzes can be fun ways of finding out about yourself and other people and learning new vocabulary and questions.


In today's activity we are going to look at a range of quizzes from FunQuizCards and then you can try to create your own.

Task:

• Take these tests and find out:
  
  Which music suits your personality?
  Are you a couch potato?
