Partners Quiz (PQ) is a great way to add an interactive component to almost any lesson!

Here are just a few reasons why you will love adding Partners Quiz (PQ) to your day!

PARTNERS QUIZ PROCEDURES

STEP 1:

Students stand (holding their PQ card).

Students put one hand up to find a partner – closest student with hand up.  It’s good to emphasize this because some will only want to play with their buddies.

STEP 2:

Partners greet.

Partner A quizzes/coaches partner B.  

Partner B Answers

(If B does not know the answer, Partner A quickly shows the correct answer (coaches), and then quizzes again).

Partner A praises B with high 5 or compliment.

STEP 3:

Same as Step 2 with roles reversed.

Partner B quizzes/coaches partner A.  

Partner A Answers

(If A does not know the answer, Partner B quickly shows the correct answer (coaches), and then quizzes again)

Partner B praises A with high 5 or compliment.

STEP 4

Partners thank each other, say good-by.

They put their hands up to find a new partner and repeat steps.

I set the timer for 5-10 minutes for the students to do this engaging activity.  I challenge them to PQ with as many different partners as they can.

I carry a card and participate in the activity for a number of reasons:

Kids love to quiz the teacher.

I can discreetly help struggling students.

I can quickly see if the class needs a “refresher” on PQ procedures.
