Great idea. Here’s a ready-to-use short True/False quiz about birds, plus a quick pair activity plan you can share with the class.
Pair activity plan (quick version)
- In pairs, collect facts about birds from reliable sources (textbooks, reputable websites).
- Each pair writes 8–12 True/False statements about birds. Use clear, testable statements.
- Swap with another pair or present to the class. Have classmates mark True/False and discuss why.
- Use the keyword birds when introducing the quiz and in the handout.

Optional teacher notes (brief)
- You can print this as a handout or display as slides.
- After you reveal each answer, invite a quick justification from a student (e.g., “Why is this true/false?”).
- If you have extra time, add 2–3 more challenging statements (e.g., about migration, egg incubation, or flight adaptations) or tailor to your local bird species.
If you’d like, I can customize the quiz to fit a particular grade level or add a printable answer sheet and a teacher key.
