A fun get-to-know you activity for any class/subject. Announce to your students that you like to get "the Hardest Test of the Year" over with quickly, in fact, you like to get it over with on the first day of school! Pass out this fun 10 question test and allow the students to work independently or as a group to come up with the answers.
Questions range from the silly - "What is your teacher's favorite food?" to questions that really open up class discussion for what expectations you have for them this year - "What class rule does your teacher feel is most important?"
Students will quickly realize that there is no way for them to know all the right answers and you can all laugh at some of the silly responses. A wonderful way to let the students get to know you a little bit better. The activity leads perfectly into a discussion of class rules, procedures, and expectations.
This download can also be purchased in a larger package of 10+ unique, creative back to school activities. Please search for "Back to School Activities - 12 Unique, Creative Activities."

I just purchased the Hardest Test of the Year and noticed a typo in Q. 10. Could you fix that and upload a clean copy? I'd love to use it on the first day of school, but hate to start off the year with a mistake on the first test :-) Thanks!

Absolutely. Let me take a look at it and you will be notified when it's ready for you to download it again. Thank you for bringing this to my attention!
Update: My laptop recently caught a virus and has been being repaired. I just got it back this evening and in order to fix the issues they had to uninstall word. I am working to resolve that issue and fix the issue with "The Hardest Test of the Year" and should have the updated version ready by the end of the week. Thanks for your patience.
