I'm a tired teacher just like you; fighting to balance the importance of my own life with the fun and high level of education I want to give my students.
I hope these resources save you time so you can focus on the important things in life.

Assembly script based on the ‘Twas the night before Christmas’ poem. The script comprises of 30 parts. It has 12 narrators and 18 acting parts involving a lot of mime or dance.
The script is extremely adaptable and funny.
The original poem was wordy so it’s been altered slightly and would be most suitable for year 3/P4 and anything right through secondary school.
If you wanted to adapt it for a younger class I would recommend giving the narrators the words to read on cards rather than learning them off.
A great assembly all about space, aimed at ks2 or upper ks1.
It contains 2 songs and a dance with youtube links. Printable S-P-A-C-E lettering for the children to hold up in assembly. There is also an optional powerpoint, just add pictures of your kids or their artwork of the planets.
Enjoy, this is such a fun assembly which the kids and audience will LOVE!
Assembly script based on a trip to space introducing the sun and the planets to the rest of the school. The script teaches some facts on each planet and their order from the sun.
It has 15 speaking parts but is easily adjustable to share out the lines and add more. It contains one song, lyrics, links to lots of sound effects and a list of costume suggestions.
This a really fun assembly to watch and act out full of laughs and facts.
Hope it saves you some time :)
KS2 focused assembly about sound. It teaches children about sound waves, the ear structure, pitch and percusion songs. It is a very informative assembly but with lots of humour, practical illustrations and one percussion song for the children to perform. There are speaking parts for 30 children varying in length and ability and links to sounds and visuals at the bottom of the assembly.
Science topics should definitely be used more as assembly subjects!
Enjoy!
Example of write up and the evidence I used to show I had met each teaching standard while completing my teacher training.
Great to use for ideas while for your teacher training or performance management targets.
In fact there are 2 slightly different version of the traditional stations of the cross assembly celebrated in church school. This includes a powerpoint, reflections and responses for those in the assembly.
Hope it saves you some time!
This resource includes the script and 2 powerpoints for an assembly. Was originally for a year 5 class but can be adapted for any ks2 class.
The first powerpoint includes opportunities to add photos of your own class and some cross curricular lessons, such as mummifying apples in Science and Egyptian movement in PE.
The second powerpoint is a an ‘Egyptian’ version of Who Wants to be a millionaire. My school LOVED this assembly.
Enjoy :)
A cool little boardgame which can be used as an introduction to the topic, assessment at the end of topic in KS1 or as a knowledge harvest in KS2.
Children pick up a card with an animal or plant on it and they move around the board choosing which habitat or micro habit that animal lives in. The game ends when all the cards are gone.
The game targets these KS1 science objectives in the English Curriculum:
a)identify that most living things live in habitats to which they are suited and describe how different habitats provide for the basic needs of different kinds of animals and plants, and how they depend on each other.
b) identify and name a variety of plants and animals in their habitats, including micro-habitats.
I tend to put these at the end of certain topics or units or work but I have given them to colleagues who use them at the front of the book or to inform parents evening. They include year 1 targets for literacy and maths. I’ve also left a blank template for lesson specific tables. I really recommend children using their own hands for thumbs up, down, sideways as self assessment t the end of lesson first so they can understand the concept.
My kids found this easy to grasp and fun.
Enjoy :)
A really fun, interactive quiz is aimed at older children or to be used as an assembly on this special day. It’s got a range of information, photos and interesting facts. Everyone should learn a little more about Saint Patrick’s history and how celebrating him has changed over the years.
There are 3 rounds; 1. Saint Patrick Facts
2. True or False
3. Saint Patrick’s Day
Hope this activity saves you some time :)
A fun little powerpoint with very cheesy St. Patrick’s Day jokes. I would use this with the kids in my class as well as a whole school assembly.
Appropriate for year 2 and above :)
Assembly script based on the ‘Twas the night before Christmas’ poem. The script comprises of 30 parts.The teacher or Teaching Assistants should narrate while the class act it out through mime or dance. Santa is the only speaking part, which could be covered by a teacher too.
The script is extremely adaptable and funny.
The original poem was wordy so it’s been altered slightly, but is sure to bring tears, laughter and Christmassy joy.
Display this powerpoint at the end of a lesson.
It shows symbols used for self assessment and a range of sentence starters for pupils to record in their books for both self and peer assessment. The sentence starters are general and should be applicable to all subjects.
Saves a lot of time rather than recording red pen questions for individual children.
Three levels of worksheets to identify and create your own sentence types. Each page includes the definition of each sentence type which is great for beginners or revision, but this could be edited to become a cloze procedure.
I’ve used this to introduce the topic in class and then to send home for parents in HW. Many of my parents said they found the definitions really helpful and put them up at home as they hadn’t been taught how to identify them before.
A wonderful assembly all about the ancient Egyptians. It includes one song and links to it on youtube, one quiz done in the style of who wants to be a millionaire (all about the Egyptians) and one example power point to put in the background, including lots of ideas for ancient Egypts based lessons; mummifying apples in science, dance and movement and an example of a class display.
Enjoy!
Hilarious and fun script all about Robin Hood and Nottingham. Written for KS2 and beyond.
Great to use as a class play or assembly based on a literacy topic.
Enjoy!
This assembly is based on the unit of work I completed with my class, therefore I’ve included a plan of what I completed throughout my lessons.
This was a great cross curricular topic and as you’ll see, I’ve included links to art and DT, literacy and ICT.
The assembly included an option between two songs and the words to a poem we performed.
There are also a number of templates to create jumping jacks, shadow puppets and zeotropes. The document marked zerotrope template was a great freebie from a childhood museum which has other ‘toy’ related worksheets and activities which I sent as homework.
I completed this summer term in a year 2 class, but to be hones at it is all about the work the children complete can really work from year 1 - 6.
We had such fun with this topic and assembly, I hope you do too!
Assembly script based on the classic Aesop’s Fable; The Tortoise and The Hare. It focuses on encouraging kids to work hard and not to compare themselves with others.
It has speaking parts for 30 children and includes some use of background music.
This can be used for any class year 2 and up.
It’s a fun assembly, hope you enjoy it :)
