Revision activities for GCSE PE, ideal as starters, extensions tasks or whole lessons. Ready for use

Question sheets 1-7 are best printed out on A3. I always kept a few of these in my classroom as extension tasks or homework. They are designed to encourage students to plan an answer before writing.

Q1: Other subjects relevance to PE
Q2: Qualities of a successful first aider
Q3: Funding an athlete
Q4: Unsuitable sponsorship
Q5: Effects of fatigue
Q6: How exercise affects the c/v system
Q7: How correct technique prevents injury

Quiz, quiz, trade is a starter and plenary activity where every student has a slip of paper with a questions and its answer on it. They go around the room and ask someone their question. Once they have answered it, the correct answer is given. Then they swap roles. Once the second question has been answered, they trade questions and find someone new. This can continue as long as you wish but allows for lots of people to ask and be asked questions.

The plenary at the end is simply the teacher asking the questions again. Everyone should be able to provide an answer! I like to have the class all stand up, they can sit down when they've answered a question correctly.

The revision loop is a series of answers with an unrelated question on the bottom. Each student gets one of these slips and has to use their answer to answer someone else's question.

Next, two Tarsia jigsaw puzzles. Simply cut out and muddle up and then re-arrange. Lots of ambiguity to promote discussion and problem solving.


These resources will save hours of prep. and can be used repeatedly as part of your revision.

Any feedback, positive or developmental, is greatly appreciated.
