How it works

1
Pick a slide.

Any of the ten fact slides. Read the fact aloud as a plain statement, no hints.

2
Take a vote.

Ask the class: true or false? A show of hands is all you need. Let a few students explain their reasoning before you reveal anything; the guessing is half the fun.

3
Click to reveal.

The answer plus the one-line “why” appear on the slide. Then ask what they’d like to find out next.

Ten facts are built into the slides, each with a click-to-reveal answer, and the resource pack holds ten more for when you run out. The closing slide asks students to bring in a mystery fact of their own.
