Dumb Brits!
These are real exchanges, taken from the net - people giving silly answers to seemingly straightforward quiz questions. The students read the excerpts, have a laugh (hopefully!) then answer the questions. (I have included the right answers to the questions!) Edit: and I�ve got one wrong!:-))) Mt Etna is in Italy, as Sicily isn�t a country.

Christmas Activities
There are some great cliparts on here! I have set the activities/questions to fly in. You might want to just show the images first and get the pupils to describe them. Or play �Splat!� Two pupils come to the board. Teacher describes an image. The pupil to touch it first is the winner.
