This might be familiar to some- it’s the wikipedia game! Students start with the wiki page for their own name, and through following links, aim to arrive at the wiki page for chocolate! They can’t go back; only forwards. (If some are really struggling they can have 1 backwards pass!) This is a bit of fun, and I have used it with KS3 students as I’ve found they really don’t know how to find the answers they need when asked to ‘research’ something. This helps teach them to really read the information in front of them, and to think more about how to find what they are looking for. More of a starter activity than a lesson!
