Transport - Old and New Transport Types - Venn Diagram Activity
This resource is a PDF file of a transport activity where students have to sort out different types of transport into a Venn diagram.
This resource is three pages long. The first page provides the Venn diagram for students to glue the pictures into. The second page contains all of the transport pictures the students need to sort and the third page is an answer sheet for the teacher.
This activity leads to some good discussion point about the transport types that overlap in the Venn diagram eg students can discuss how hot air balloons were used for transport originally as to how they are used now (mostly for tourism activities). Students can also discuss why the transport types they sorted into ‘old’ are no longer used by most people.
This resource could also be used as an assessment activity.

Guess Who Cards - Animals Board Game Set
This resource is a seven page PDF document of Guess Who cards based on aniamls.
These cards can be printed back to back, cut out and inserted into a Guess Who set. Students can then play Guess Who based on their knowledge of various different animals.
The questions asked could be based on what type of animal it is/ whether it fits the category of mammal, reptile, bird etc / what type of environment it lives in / how it moves / what it eats etc. This game gives students plenty of opportunity to develop their understanding of the characteristics that make different animals so unique.
These cards can also be used by turning over the cards instead, provided the students have a barrier between them, if you do not have Guess Who in your classroom.
This resource is also really useful for EAL/D, ESL, NESB or LBOTE students.
