Quiz/ film last week of school

[Lolabun1]

Hi.
Is it acceptable to do a Christmas quiz for the whole lesson the day before they break up for Christmas or is that too early?

Seems not unreasonable.

Sounds fun.
My daughter watched the Grinch today apparently.

Dd did quizzes last week at college!

What year?
It's better to do a quiz than watch a film.
My HoD preferred for us to work all the way through but it was science so we would do a fun practical challenge. She didn't see the point in students making the effort to come to school to watch parts of a film they could watch at home.

I don't have problem with this, but I do have issues on not letting family to take early days off for their child for vacation and holidays while the school is not doing any meaningful teaching activities...

Do a quiz that alternates Christmas rounds and subject-based rounds, so that it doubles as revision. If you can make the subject-based rounds Christmassy in some way, so much the better.
I once offered a group the choice of activities in my classroom or joining the class next door watching a video. They'd had enough of videos.
I've also had kids doing serious work in the last lesson, and one occasion a test (I offered them the choice - they could do it first lesson back, but they might have forgotten lots by then...).

It's science, I have some science Christmas quizzes from ks3 and 4. Just wondering if anyone else thought it was ok.

@Lolabun1 surely it depends on the school and department guidance.

I used to enjoy doing chromatography using filter paper at Christmas so they could draw their dots in a pattern and make a 'bauble'. Bit of Christmas music on and then we'd bring some science into it and talk about mobile and stationary phase and give them challenges to make a bauble that looked like.....

Or doing a contest on who could make the cleanest water from a bottle of muddy sandy stuff using what they had learned in the Separation Techniques unit and household products (you need some fizzy drinks bottles and moss and pebbles so they can make a filter etc).

Or a load of cardboard and marbles and make a marble run that takes 0.5 seconds or similar if you've been teaching physics.
