A tutor time activity to look at the upcoming election, at first it introduces the idea of how the general election works. Then a chance to look at the main parties, the key people and their ideas. The idea is to look at two every day then on the last day to hold our own mini election.

A revision activity inspired by the Chase game show, read the instruction and adapt to your needs in the lesson. Students liked this and use as a way to break up a longer revision activity.

A resource that works well for a recap topic. Fill the grid with questions or topics. Students then roll dice and answer the question or describe/give facts/ explain the topic. Works well as a revision task at the end of a topic.

Another revision resource based on the board game trivial pursuit, create question cards with different colours representing different colours. I bought myself online some of the games tokens which were cheap or print out some colored triangles to collect. I used these activities to increase engagement and break up revision after school and during lessons.

This was created to recap an entire topic. Each space is a particular topic, there is one question to buy to the topic and subsequent questions other people who land on it. If they fail to answer it the cost is double. Let the student choose the costs of the topic properties, the harder topics can be made more expensive. Laminate the board and resources. Let the student choose the The resource includes an editable board, editable property cards, editable chance cards and money tokens.

Inspired by the game show Only Connect, students have to work in groups to be the quickest to work out the link/connection between groups of 4 words, works well for a recap lesson or plenary. Students click on the word to change its colour and must group the board into 4 groups and work out the links between them. The timer gives them 2.5 minutes to do this. Or show the words on the board and set the timer and use the worksheet for all students to try and work out the link. Students liked working in groups and competing to get the fastest time.

A great way to test understanding of topic or lesson. This an editable resource to best fit your needs. Its interactive. Place your topics and questions onto the slide and add in the clues and change the A’s to the correct answers. Place the easier answers with the higher scores. When playing press the small circle to reveal the answer to the class press the large purple circle if the answer is correct and students score 100, students keep track of the scores in their teams. Lowest score by the end wins.

A good revision task that get students to improve description and understanding of key words. Create key word cards with 5 words/facts they need to include. Students take it in turns to be told the key word and describe it trying to get as many of the 5 points in the key word. however many of the points they get off the card they score that many points. Students take it on turns after 3 rounds whoever has scored more wins.

A good way to end the lesson. Press the spin button and see what social media themed plenary it will land on students then end the lesson in the task. Click on the app and the activity will appear to increase interest and engagement I’ve also created it in a dice format and five each group one to use and they can do this on their own and if under running complete two. Students really liked this task.

A lesson where students create a twitter account for a person they have been learning about or a book. They need to think about they key things that they would say and maybe hashtags. Also done this as a summary task where students have to create tweets for their subject and at least 7 tweets about what they have learnt.

A snapchat themed resource where students sum up the lesson into a snapchat image. Get students to consolidate their learning into one key point.

A homework task or worksheet where students sum up what they have learn in pictures. This worked well with my low ability class. They can do an instagram page for a book or person.

I use this task as a mini plenary or starter or a form of revision, each time a student answers as question correctly they can choose a block to remove, they then attempt to guess what the picture is showing and how it links to what we have learnt. The process is repeated until students can guess it. To add a picture past it and shape it to whole screen. Then send the image to the back for it to be behind the numbers that disappear. This works really well for historical sources but also other images and diagrams.

This can be used for a homework task or part of a lesson where students have to write a BBC news article about a particular topic/theme that has been studed. I get students to then pritoise information to include titled for other top stories and make links in the relevant articles section. Change the title to whatever links to what you are learning or leave it blank and get students to add their own.

I use this for either a revision/consolidation/homework task. I change the headings and subheadings depending on the topic we are studing. Students then have to recap what they have learn trying to be concise. They also include an image which either best sums up the topic or they draw one. Then in the grey boxes they sum up the topic in key details. This works for lots of subjects and I have done it for history, sociology and RE. It also works well for book reviews.

A group of lesson resources medieval themed. There is a connectives word mat to help students with their writing in lesson. There is also a Takeaway Homework, where there are a range of options that range in difficulty. Furthermore there is a Question/Debate plenary Game. Students are split into two teams and take turns trying to out question and answer each other. They attack each time they get a question wrong first to loose three lives.
