A5 booklet, but you can change the paper size for a bigger size if you wanted. It is already formatted so you can literally press print (with staples) and it’ll be a lovely booklet out the printer! You can also change the content to adapt to your activity.
I created this for open evening activities where the children and parents can work together or just for the children, whilst staff are able to talk to parents in a busy room.
I included answers in this booklet but I usually remove this so that I give prizes to the winners so they work really hard to figure it out (especially since there is a time limit to activities before groups move along to the next department!). They love it and adds competition.
If you need to save on printing and have space, you can also stick them around the room since I have them numbered and children can write down what they think.
A booklet is a great memory for them and activity that they can take home to do.

Translated in Korean (which you can remove or adjust to another language)
For example, teaching Italian with English translations.
The translations are for students to be able to self-study and understand, with or without the help of their parents or teachers. It allows them independence if you decide that yo want them to do the work beforehand, or with you, or as homework. The page numbers make it easily referenced especially when you are teaching remotely. I usually changed 10. into competitive learning games as they were more interested.

Video recreation of parliment blowng up in 30 seconds! Exciting.
Students tend to ask - why would he blow himself up? so you need to also explain how gunpowder works.
Students LOVE this lesson so much that we introduced it to several schools in the trust.
I decided to throw in the full lesson plan so you can have the questions to ask (if you don’t know much about the history, plot etc.) so that you can teach it well.
