A fantastic way of revising rationing in WWII. How you play: - Each pair of pupils needs one learning grid and two dice - One pupil roles both dice and counts the number along the bottom and then up the grid. This gives them the first image. The pupil then repeats the process again to get another image. It is then down to them to explain how the rationing images are linked. Imagination time! - The other pupil then does the same. - The best explanations can be written down after around fifteen minutes. This task is a great way to revise key topics and help develop explanations. There is also a simpler grid for lower ability pupils.
