Create a Quiz with Google Forms: Vocabulary, Writing and Reading Activity

Students have fun creating a quiz with Google Forms, learn about any given topic or vocabulary, and practise their reading and writing skills.

Here are the instructions for the students on how to proceed to create a quiz with Google Forms . You can also download the JPEG document at the end of this post. If you want to see the final results, you can check those quizzes that were made by my students: General Tractor Vocabulary Quiz and Tractor Transmission: Mechanics Vocabulary Quiz.
