Autumn / Fall Yes / No Questions

(0)
This resource contains 60 different task cards giving students the choice of two answers - yes or no - to the question at the top. Each task card contains 1 question, 1 image and 2 answers. The task cards are all in the theme of Autumn / Fall. These task cards come in col and b/w option. They are a great way to encourage students to pay attention to detail, the image that they are looking at and to answer appropriately. I recommend cutting out each card individually and laminating so that they will be stronger and longer lasting. Students can complete with a dry wipe pen or a peg so that they can be used again.

Halloween Conversation Prompt Task Cards Social Skills

(0)
Halloween themed conversation prompt cards to encourage your students to work on their communication, social and conversation skills in a fun and engaging way this Halloween. This resource includes 34 different prompt cards to help and encourage students to make conversation. Conversation is a hard skill for our students to master, especially when trying to start one. These prompt cards help to break the ice and encourage your students to feel more supported and confident when starting a conversation. A conversation helps to build relationships between students or even staff. It's also a great way for you to find out more about your students in class - especially if you have many shy students who usually struggle to keep a conversation flowing. The cards are bright and fun to keep students engaged throughout the activity. The prompt cards come in b/w and col. option as well as with UK and US spelling options i.e favorite/favourite. These are fantastic for prompting students to start conversations with each other, especially for morning work, social skills groups etc.

St. David's Day QR Code Task Cards

(0)
To use this activity you will need access to a QR reader on a smart device, i.e table, phone etc. You will need access to internet/wifi and a camera. Students scan the QR code on the question task card, they are redirected to a website with an image on, they look at the image and then record what position the dinosaur is on the answer card. This activity comes in col and b/w option. It comes with an answer sheet for students to fill in and an answer key for your use if needed. Students have to look at the task and the image and try to write down what they think it is. They can then use their device to scan the QR code to see if they got the correct answer/spelt it right! There is an extra column on the answer sheet for students to right the correct answer as well as their guess/answer. There are 13 questions in total. All graphics are related to the Welsh celebration of St. David’s Day. Students scan the QR code using a QR code reader (you can download free options from App stores). They are then redirected to a website with the image and the spelling/word below it. Every task card states the question number on top of the task card, this then coincides with the answer sheet - the numbers are related i.e Question 1 task card will go into box number 1 on the answer sheet. You can lay out the task cards on a table, as part of a center/centre or leave them around the room/outdoor area for students to hunt for.

UK Coins Making Money Piggy Banks

(0)
This resource is a fun and engaging activity for students to work on their coin recognition and money making skills. Students simply read the price tag that is on the piggy bank and use real coins or coins provided in this pack to make up the amount that it says. There are flashcards for price tags from £0.01 right up to £3. This resource is a great way to get students thinking and adding money. I highly recommend cutting out and laminating each of the individual flashcards that you will be using, the coins (if you are using these instead of real coins) and a few copies of the pig (so that you have multiple copies so multiple pupils can work at one time if you want). This can be done as small group activities, a full class activity or even 1:1 work for working on money targets. Comes in col and and b/w option for your preference. This resource contains UK coins.

I see zoo animals, symbol book, sentence building, animal photographs A great sentence building activity which comes complete with symbols. 17 animals included. The symbols come on a separate page.
