The Big Ten is a free-to-try top-ten quiz game for the whiteboard — a Tenable-style whole-class game where a topic hides ten answers. The class calls out guesses, you type them in, and each correct answer lights up the tower with a rising bing. Find all ten. It's a perfect starter or plenary that gets the whole room thinking, discussing and negotiating their best ten. Pick a ready-made list, write your own, or generate a topic on the spot — no prep, no printing, nothing to install.

How do you play The Big Ten?
Choose a topic with ten hidden answers. The class calls out guesses and the teacher types them in; each correct answer lights up the tower with a rising bing. Find all ten to win. Spelling is forgiving, so small typos and short forms still count.
What ages and subjects is it for?
Any class from upper primary through secondary (roughly ages 7–16). The ready-made lists cover English, maths, science, history and geography, and you can write a top-ten list for any topic or subject.
Can I make my own top-ten lists?
Yes — write your own topic and ten answers, or type any topic and have the ten generated for you to preview and edit. You can also add team play and a three-lives mode.
