This week, we would like you to create a general knowledge quiz which you could use with your family. Think carefully about who you are writing the quiz for and what questions you will include. You could even organise your questions into categories to test different subject areas – remember to keep the answers secret!

Send us a photo of your quiz (and the answers) so that we can test our knowledge too!

We look forward to seeing what brilliant questions you can come up with.
