Recall and Retrieval Activity Bank

This resource is a bank of 10 different recall activities. Use these to add some variety to the way you ask students to activate memory and prior learning at the start of lessons.

As well as a large copy of each activity that can be displayed on a board at the start of a lesson – there are pages with multiple smaller copies that can be printed to use in student’s books to record their learning.

Most are generic enough to use in almost any subject – but there are enough to allow you to pick the one that best fits the lesson that you are planning.

Inspired by reading of the work of writers such as Kate Jones – these were designed for Key Stage Two use but would also be appropriate at secondary.
