This review includes a set of two differentiated crosswords, a review bingo activity, reference websites and answer sheets. The bingo sheets are laid out four to a page and there are 16 different cards. More sets of cards can be printed, OR you could have one card per table and small groups can work together. The teacher sheet has the questions to be drawn (with the answers), and the students mark the answer on their cards. A highlighter works well for this, or they can just circle the answers. This is a great activity to do as a class review if you had the students call out the correct answers. The first student who yells bingo and has a row of all the answers wins. Aimed at KS2 Y4-6. The information reviewed is all from the Primary Topic Shop Viking Lesson and Activity Bundle. Contents: Two differentiated crosswords One Bingo Activity List of Reference Websites Answer Sheets
