British Values Quiz

This deck is designed as a quick ESOL Entry 1 starter quiz. The user's request mentions QR code access, but this slide deck can only provide the quiz content and image search phrases, not an actual QR code.

Our learning goal

I can recognise some British values in everyday life.

Which British value words do you already know?

Invite simple words or short phrases such as vote, law, respect, freedom, kindness, religion, or rules. Use responses to link into the lesson vocabulary.

What are British values?

British values are ideas that help people live together.

They include:

• democracy

• rule of law

• individual liberty

• mutual respect

• tolerance of different faiths and beliefs

Keep language simple. At Entry 1, students do not need long formal definitions yet; this slide gives the key list they will meet in the quiz.

Democracy

Democracy means people can choose.

Example:

• voting in an election

• sharing opinions

• making choices as a group

Stress the simple idea of having a say. Avoid abstract political detail.

Rule of law

Rule of law means everyone follows the law.

Example:

• stopping at a red light

• paying for things in a shop

• police help keep people safe

Use everyday examples adults know from work, travel, and shopping.

Individual liberty

Individual liberty means people can make choices about their lives.

Example:

• choosing your clothes

• choosing your job

• speaking politely about your ideas

Clarify that freedom comes with responsibility and respect for others.

Mutual respect and tolerance

These values mean we treat other people kindly.

Example:

• listening to others

• respecting different religions

• respecting different opinions and cultures

For ESOL learners, connect this to classroom behaviour and community life.
