Euroquiz Resources
RECOMMENDED PUBLICATIONS
Schools are advised to use the following resources to prepare for Euroquiz. If you scroll down to the bottom of the page you will also find sample quizzes from previous Euroquiz events.
Some resources may contain information which is out of date. While we aim to keep our own website and materials up to date, links do change frequently and the Scottish European Educational Trust cannot take responsibility for the content of external websites and publications.
At the end of October 2019 (based on the current schedule), the UK plans to leave the EU. Contrary to what is printed on the EU publications, the UK's EU offices will no longer be the contact point for more details. The information about the UK as an EU Member State will no longer apply.

The Mystery of the Golden Stars - This story book resource allows children to discover something about what the EU is; how it works and how it may be relevant to them, in a fun and stimulating way. The activities take a cross-curricular approach, including six different links to the curriculum (Geography, Maths, History, English, Science and Design & Technology). Each activity is prefaced by a chapter from the story book, as an introduction to the task.
The Flight of the Cranes - Nature watch – the flight of the cranes is a publication from the European Commission’s Directorate-General for the Environment, designed to educate and entertain children aged 7-11. This publication offers fascinating facts about Europe’s bird migration, biodiversity, plus ideas for what children can do themselves to protect the natural environment. It also features a ‘story book’ built around children’s own observations which invites young readers to make their own contributions.
