Euro 2016 Differentiated activity booklet, ideal for form time. All home nations and ready for use.

(1)
This is similar to my Rugby World Cup resource but is significantly bigger. I've designed it as an ongoing resource to be returned to every form time for the duration of the Euro tournament. It comes with a powerpoint that has all the participating teams on it. If you play the powerpoint then the images will quickly change. Press "S" and the slideshow will stop on a team. Press "S" again to re-start the slideshow. Using this method, each child can randomly select a team to follow. I did this with my form with a prize if their randomly selected team won the tournament. This team will also feature in their booklet as a research project. The booklet starts with a page about the hosts of the tournament, France. This is a research activity and so access to computers or books will be required. There are two sheets which look identical but this is not the case. One has prompts to assist lower ability students with some French historical characters to research. The next page looks at the history of the tournament and again has a differentiated version for lower ability students. Following on from this is a picture quiz where students have to name the winners of the previous tournaments. Next is a research project where students are asked to design a poster for their previously selected team. There is a differentiated version for lower ability students with a number of prompt questions to help with research. The next three sheets each relate to one of the home nations so that any students who have an allegiance to that nation can still participate. This task is to create a song/rap or chant about their nations success. Again with specific home nations sheets is the next task which is to design their football kit. Next is an art project looking at the work of Robert Delauney, a famous French artist with a particularly bright and vivid style. Students are asked to reproduce his work and this can be extended to adapt a football picture into his style of work and a blank canvas for the truly creative. There follows a focus on four famous players with an attached fact file and a drawing to colour in. Once this is completed there is a blank fact file for students to pick their favourite player and complete accordingly. Finally there is a puzzle page with riddles and a word-search. The answers are on the final sheet. There are a number of ways in which you can run this project: You could compile the workbooks beforehand and hand them out so that they are differentiated to each class members ability. You could hand out each page individually and then compile them at the end. My ideal would be that everyone gets a different sheet so that everyone is doing a different task within the same time frame and then they are compiled at the end. Any feedback, positive or negative, is greatly appreciated.
Updated Easter Quiz with three rounds including the Easter Story. Intended for fun.

Updated Easter Quiz with three rounds including the Easter Story. Intended for fun.

(1)
This is a quiz to be used for fun at Easter. There are three rounds, each with 10 questions. The first round is Eggs, the second is Easter around the World and the third is The Easter Story. I've tried to make it applicable to all by making the quiz fun and informative rather than pursuing a religious ideal, however I did think it important that we look at why Easter is such an important religious festival whether we celebrate it in that way or not. The answer to each question is revealed before moving on to the next question, therefore I would suggest that answers are written on a whiteboard and points allocated accordingly before moving on to the next question. Each question has some supporting information to either explain the answer or to give some further contextual information. The last page has a question that encourages debate, it's not part of the quiz but can fill in some time should it be required. It's entirely at your own discretion. All feedback, positive or negative is gratefully received.

Ready to use PPoint with 100 funny facts that are true or false. Ideal for form time/fun lesson.

(1)
This is a powerpoint with 100 statements. Students decide whether the statement is True or False. Can be used as a form quiz or group activity. Each statement has it's own slide and the correct answer highlights itself upon the click of a button. There are further explanatory statements on some slides. Due to the size of the resource it can be completed over a period of time or in one big session. A variant that I have used is dividing the room into two sides ( True/False ) and have students move to the side they think is correct. Those who get it wrong are out. Last man standing wins. All feedback, good or bad, is gratefully received.

8 rounds with 60 questions in total on a variety of topics. Hosted by Headingley, the Queen's head butler, the quiz offers a unique and interesting insight into some of the differences between our countries but also some lesser known information about one of the most fascinating countries in the world. Round 1 - Multiple choice - General knowledge Round 2 - True or False - Born in England. Were these celebrities born in England? Round 3 - History Round 4 - Geography - places with the same name in both the US and England Round 5 - Sport - Which positions belong to cricket and which to rugby league? Round 6 - People - Which people are real historical characters and which are myths? Round 7 - Match-up - Match the English terms to their US counterparts. Round 8 - Multiple choice - Trivia When required, answers are revealed with supporting pictures and text boxes with additional information in. I should add that Queen Elizabeth II did not really request this quiz to be made. It was Prince William.

This quiz has very little educational merit whatsoever. It's based on ridiculous things from around the world and is split into 5 rounds of 10 questions each: Round 1 : Ridiculous Superheroes, multiple choice Round 2: Ridiculous names, True or False Round 3: Ridiculous statues, Q&A Round 3: Ridiculous inventions, Q&A Round 5: Ridiculous World Records, Q&A You could run the quiz over a period of time doing a round at a time or as one whole quiz. Answers are revealed immediately so if keeping score that will need to be done after every answer. All feedback, positive or developmental is greatly appreciated.

Each quiz has a selection of 25 questions in different topics with each question having a different points value. Decide on the points value and topic you want and the appropriate question pops up. Navigate to the answer using the arrows and then use the arrows again to navigate back to the question board. The options that have already been chosen appear on the question board shaded so that the same question cannot be asked twice in any one quiz. The topics are as follows: Quiz 1 Born on the 25th - identify the celebrities who have Christmas birthdays. 12 Days of Christmas - What were the gifts from the famous carol? Christmas haters - Who are the people being described? Santa Who? - Who are these famous people disguised as Father Christmas? Christmas Trivia Quiz 2 Cracker Jokes - finish off the joke. Movies - identify the Xmas movie from the picture. Santagrams - unravel the Xmas themed anagram. Santa International - What is Santa known as around the world? Santa Who? - Who are these famous people disguised as Father Christmas? I'd split the class into groups and have each group take it in turns but it can be managed in many ways. Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated, either positive or developmental. Happy Christmas.

Ideal for form or fun lesson, quiz based on TV show 'Only Connect.' 40 q's on p-point.

If you've seen 'Only Connect' on BBC 2 then you're probably a geek. Welcome to my world! This quiz is entirely based on that premise with four separate rounds of 10 questions. Round 1 is the missing vowels round where students have to work out the different flavours of crisps from the consonants that remain. Round 2 is Connections. What is the link between four different images/photographs. Round 3 is missing vowels again but instead of crisp flavours it's Pokemon names. Round 4 is Sequences. This time there are 3 images or pieces of information, students have to work out what the fourth could be. Each slide comes with a full answer to assist in understanding, whether this is on the screen or in the notes. I'd suggest that students do this in groups as it can be quite challenging but it has been deliberately aimed at secondary students with popular culture references as well as more educational references. This is designed not to test knowledge but to test critical thinking skills. Any feedback, positive or developmental, greatly appreciated.

These are two game show power-points with 25 questions each on various topics and each worth different points. Students decide which topic and what points value question they wish to go for. Use the arrows to navigate and reveal the answers. The topics are as follows: Board 1: Capitals Top Scorers Trivia Captains Badges Board 2: Twitter Host Cities Famous French Trivia French Phrases The higher the points value, the harder the question so they should be challenging to all. Some of the topics, although related to football and the Euros, require no football knowledge at all making them accessible to all and not just the fanatics looking forward to the tournament. All you (or your representative) need to do is keep score. I would consider having teams who nominate an answer before the reveal. Any feedback, positive or negative, is greatly appreciated.

Values class activity to get to know your students, use recall and descriptive writing. Ready 4 Sept

(0)
You can run this activity over a number of days or as one longer activity. There are over 50 questions that need to be cut out and folded over and an answer sheet. Each student picks a question and then answers it on their sheet. The questions are all personal and are designed to reveal a little about their personal history, their thoughts and their interests. Once complete, they return their questions and pick another. This can be done alternatively in pairs where the first student would ask their neighbour the question and write down their response so that they are learning about their classmate. The next question has to be asked to someone else and their sheet completed thereby getting to know other people too. This information can be used for a class display or a quiz based upon their classmates or just for fun to look at the following year. Sample questions: What is your favourite photo? If you could invent anything, what would it be? Some questions are closed questions, try and get students to expand upon a "Yes," or "No," answer.

Ready to use, Premier League Quiz with predictions worksheet and team selector. Ready for 2016/17.

This is an ideal activity for form time or even as a lesson starter to come back to over the year with difficult (boys) groups. The Premier League Quiz has approx 50 questions and match-up activities all in rounds of 10 marks to help you keep tabs on scores. You could even do the quiz over a number of days/weeks as there are 6 separate rounds on topics like 'Last Season', and 'Premier league Legends.' All the question slides are visually stimulating with either photographs or information boxes to add context and interest. As an ongoing activity I have included a Premier League prediction sheet that, in conjunction with the powerpoint presentation will allow students to predict what happens in the next season. These sheets can be re-visited periodically to see how accurate they were. A prize could even be awarded for the most accurate. There is also a number of team selector sheets where students can create their own Premier League team. I have included three different formations and left one blank in case they want to create their own formation. Any and all feedback gratefully received. Any questions, please let me know.

Are these the names of real British butterflies? Countries. Are the names provided the real names of countries? Yellow. Are the words provided real synonyms for the colour yellow? 999. Are the statements provided real requests for the emergency services? Taylor Swift. Facts about Taylor which may or may not be true. Video Games. Are the titles provided the real titles of past video games? A bit random I know, but I didn't do this to fulfill some Ofsted criteria, I did it because I thought it may interest and enthuse students.

This is a differentiated resource designed to help students improve their research skills as well as finding out more information about parkrun. parkrun is featured on the AQA PE GCSE pre-release material about Lucy and as such, I wouldn't bet against a question or two on parkrun being in the exam. There are two colours of sheet included, red and blue. Blue have prompt questions and weblinks to assist lower ability students with their research. Red don't and are aimed at higher ability students. Each sheet is slightly different with different questions and different celebrity parkrunners to investigate. It therefore encourages independent learning. This can be be completed in a lesson if the ICT provision allows for it or as an extension or revision task. It would be ideal for homework too. They are designed to be printed out on A3. Any feedback, positive or negative is appreciated.
