L'attesa è finita! A partire dai nostri uffici di Speak e per tutti voi ecco lo Speak Xmas Quiz 2021! Facciamoci trovare pronti per le festività natalizie con trenta domande dedicate al mondo anglofono su argomenti ed eventi legati a quest'anno, al prossimo ed alcune curiosità sulle festività in generale.
Procediamo quindi con lo Speak Xmas Quiz 2021! Potete condividerlo con amici, parenti, colleghi o la vostra classe nell'ultimo giorno prima delle vacanze, giocate in squadra e affrontatevi in una sfida all'ultima risposta, ovviamente in lingua inglese!
Il divertimento è assicurato! Potete personalizzare le regole e decidere se mettere in palio un premio per la squadra vincente o altrimenti gareggiare solo per la fama e la gloria!
Le regole sono semplici:
- Il quiz è in inglese e deve essere giocato in inglese quanto più possibile! Le domande sono di difficoltà linguistica e culturale variabile.
- Vietato barare, non è nello spirito natalizio! Quindi non pensate di chiedere l’aiuto di Google, Siri o Alexa! Mettete via i cellulari e usate solo la forza delle vostre menti!
- L’ideale sarebbe giocare in gruppi di 2 o 3 persone ed un Quiz Master che, secondo la tradizione, deve recitare la parte di chi prende il quiz molto seriamente e indossare indumenti o accessori stravaganti in tema natalizio. Ogni squadra deve decidere un proprio nome di battaglia.
- In caso di disputa sulla validità di una risposta, la decisione finale spetta al Quiz Master.
- Nel seguente link potrete scaricare le domande e le risposte (che avrà solo il Quiz Master).
