Four great revision tools to keep learners engaged while revising. Uses examination questions for past papers to support learning.
Articulate: Students work in two teams. Students start by rolling the dice and moving the counter to select the colour, the colour corresponds to a card. Learners select the coloured card and describe to the group the tool, process etc. on the card. The learner who guesses the tool, process being described wins the point for their team.
A great whole class activity.
Monopoly: Students play the classic Monopoly game in pairs or teams working their way around the game board answering past exam questions from Edexcel and questions from the textbook. A great revision tool to keep students motivated. Card included to allow students to count up the marks scored.
Wheel of Fortune: Can be used as a whole class activity or small groups or pairs.
One player spins the wheel and it will land on a colour. They then collect the coloured card matching the colour on the wheel and read the question to the other player. The person with the card then attempts to answer the question on the card to gain the marks for the question. If they are unable to do so this can be passed to other player to answer.
A great revision tool which is engaging and fun for the group. Idea for the Edexcel syllabus but will apply for any resistant materials group.
Pictionary: Students work in teams. Students start by rolling the dice and moving the counter to select the colour, the colour corresponds to a card. Learners select the coloured card and draw for the group the tool, process etc. on the card. This can be done as a group on the whiteboard or in teams/pairs on paper. The student who guesses the tool, process being drawn wins the point for their team.
A great activity for a fun lesson starter and for revision.
