3 four in-a-row games and 3 puzzles worksheets for fun revision of the KS2 Y5 / Y6 statutory word list of 100 words. They work well for Year 6 SATs tests preparation, or use as starter tasks, early finisher activities or as stations in spelling / SPaG lessons. Ideal as fun, meaningful fillers activities too. These use UK spelling, punctuation and grammar rules.
SAVE as part of a SPaG Revision Activities BUNDLE, which also contains SPaG Editing / Proofreading Puzzles.
3 HIDDEN WORD / SPOT THE MISTAKES PUZZLES:
Puzzles feature sentences containing multiple words from the Year 5 and Year 6 spelling list, most spelled correctly
Students check carefully to spot errors and highlight corresponding letters in the grid at the bottom
Rearrange highlighted letters to form another word from the spelling list
To save printing, print puzzles on card and laminate. Students use whiteboard pens, allowing repeated use
Puzzles are included with a pastel background, to reduce glare for dyslexic learners and others for whom this is helpful. If not colour printing, it becomes a greyscale background, which you might like, though there are also versions without a background
Spotting errors may help students remember to check their own work and help them avoid errors themselves
Individual, pairs or small group use
For differentiation put lower ability children into pairs, perhaps with a higher ability student. You could allow a word list or dictionary for support
3 FOUR IN A ROW GAMES:
Each board contains 36 sentences featuring a misspelled word from the Year 5 and Year 6 word list
These words are printed in bold and underlined
Pairs or individuals can play against each other, aiming to correct 4 adjacent spellings in a line - horizontally, vertically or diagonally
Students roll dice to determine from which column they must pick a sentence
Print and laminate for regular use
Originally designed for A3 printing, and I recommend this, with students writing directly on the board with a thin whiteboard pen. However, it works fine in A4 (you may need to adjust printer settings). If A4, students could write their spelling on a mini whiteboard or paper and put their initials in the space if correct

These are Key Stage 2 (KS2) Year 5 and Year 6 (Y5 / Y6) place value printable activities for numbers up to 6 and 7 digit develop understanding of place value, while practising mental maths. There are 72 self-checking maths trails (36 up to 6 digit numbers and 36 up to 7 digit numbers) to make into reusable activity boards or simply print as worksheets (versions also included without the final answer). Ideal as main lesson tasks, starters, early finishers, home learning, homework and revision. PDF format. (In Scotland, this suits Second Level Maths, Primary 6 and 7.)
A fun activity that can be used as a competitive game or an individual challenge
Differentiation: In addition to there being 2 different levels here (up to 6 or 7 digits), the last 6 trails in each set (trails 31-36) are a little less challenging than the first 30, helping less able students to experience success without drawing attention to the level
Print as many A4 boards as you require (printing on card recommended), laminate for regular use and have students complete trails with whiteboard pens
Consider printing and/or laminating back-to-back to save resources
A5 worksheet versions of the trails (two trails per A4 page) are included with the answer removed, which you might want to use for classwork or homework without laminating
Separate final answer key versions included (for use with worksheet versions)
Full answer versions also included for speedy checking by student or teacher if required
Alternatively students could use a calculator to help them see where they have gone wrong.
Students love using these trails, fixing any errors for themselves. They could work in pairs or individually and choose whether to time themselves or race against their friends.
How do they work? The trails each feature 12 addition and subtraction calculations (practising a variety of vocabulary for the operations) to consolidate place value. A start and end number are printed on each card, so students can work from left to right down the rows, adding and subtracting different size numbers, until they reach the end, where they can check if they arrived at the correct final number.
These trails are available alongside other place value games and activities for large numbers and decimal numbers in a popular bundle:

BINGO / LOTTO:
Includes simple number match and mental maths versions. 2 sets of 6 boards for each of 0-40 and 0-100 – one set features the French number word, the other less challenging version features digits. Print and laminate as required. Both the 0-40 and 0-100 games also have two sets of bingo cards each – French mental maths versions or French number word versions. Great for differentiation - for a medium level of challenge you could have groups using the digit boards with the mental maths calculation cards.
FOUR IN A ROW:
6 French Maths Four in a Row game boards at 2 levels. Great starter, early finisher or group activities for both French and Maths lessons. Most questions can be answered using mental strategies. All four operations used.
4 different game boards for Maths involving numbers from 0 to 100 and generally more challenging Maths questions.
2 different game boards for Maths involving numbers from 0 to 40 with generally simpler Maths questions.
Full answer versions included for at-a-glance checking by students or teacher. BLACK AND WHITE versions of all boards included too.
Laminate and use again. Students work as pairs against pairs or one against one to get four correct answers in a row. Roll dice to find which column to choose a calculation from (the columns are numbered 1-6). If there are no questions left in the one they've rolled, skip a go or roll again. Use a different coloured whiteboard pen to record answers or add an initial or symbol if using the same colour. I recommend printing in A3 but it will work fine in A4 too.
For the four operations, I use:
plus - add
moins - minus
fois - times
divisé par - divided by

Ideal starter mental maths tests or quizzes. NO PREP! This pack contains 15 Mental Arithmetic PowerPoint Speed Tests, originally designed for Upper Key Stage 2 (KS2) - Y5 and Y6 (Primary 6 and 7 and other equivalents) but might also suit some early KS3 classes for revision and consolidation. They could be used as part of SATs preparation too. UPDATE: Now included in PDF versions as well as the original PowerPoints. Money calculations are in UK Pounds, but dollar versions of all resources are also included.
Students enjoy trying to beat their previous best score. These informal tests are split across 3 files and are designed to be shown on the whiteboard, with children recording answers in jotters or on paper. In each quiz there’s one question to a slide so children can focus on it for a few seconds before the next one comes up. The question slides are plain and uncluttered to minimise distractions. You can run the PowerPoint presentation on a timer if you wish - alternatively click it on yourself, perhaps allowing a little longer for more challenging questions. Each test features 20 calculations involving a variety of mathematical skills and knowledge. Alternatively, use the PDF versions.
At the end of each test, there follows the same 20 slides repeated, with the answer added clearly. Students can mark their own or a partner’s work to cut down on your workload. If short of time, you can whizz through the answers but each answer appearing with its question like this allows for important discussions about strategies.
Concepts include: Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division, Times Tables, Doubling and Halving, Negative Numbers, Multiplying and Dividing by 10 and 100, Place Value, Decimals, Percentages, Fractions, Money, Measure (including Area and Perimeter, Time, Length), Angles.
The PowerPoint files are editable should you wish to amend any wording or change the odd question to better suit your class.
Differentiation: I’ve called this Set A rather than used any other identifier to help facilitate the use of my Set B (originally designed for Lower Key Stage 2) with lower ability children within the same class without children being aware of the age level of the questions.

A low-prep giant Roald Dahl crossword quiz puzzle, designed to be completed in groups, featuring 110 quiz style clues related to almost all Dahl's children's stories and poetry books and a few related to the writer's life. Great for Roald Dahl Day (September 13th), special reading events, end or start of term fun, at the end of a Roald Dahl author study or just as a Dahl celebration because almost all children love this author and his quirky characters! Why not use it as an early finisher activity, to be completed over several lessons? Suits Key Stage 2 (KS2) - Year 5 / Year 6 (Y5 / Y6) especially or early KS3 - Year 7 (Y7)and equivalents.
Collaborative completion works especially well as it will spark off informal reading chats as children compete against other groups to finish it, pooling knowledge of this popular children's author's texts - his stories, poems and works of autobiography. Children could research any questions they do not know. In addition to the Solution, I have also included an Answer Sheet with the answers listed in alphabetical order to give out for differentiation or when students have done as much as they can. You could print the crossword in A3 but it works fine in A4 too.
If you can spare a moment I would be grateful for a review. Many thanks.

8 Cross Number Puzzles Worksheets
15 PowerPoint Speed Tests
Concepts included: Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division, Doubling & Halving, Fractions, Decimals, Percentages, Negative Numbers, Place Value, Money, Area, Perimeter, Time, Length and Angles
All in PDF format (and PowerPoint versions of the tests)
Will suit some KS3 Year 7 classes for revision and consolidation
Could be used as part of SATs preparation
As the tests and self-check cards include money questions in UK currency, I have included versions for countries that use dollars and cents
Measure calculations are in metric
THE SAME RESOURCES ARE AVAILABLE FOR YOUNGER OR LESS ABLE STUDENTS:
Mental Maths Activities BUNDLE Year 4 / 3
Differentiation: The Year 5 / 6 resources are labelled SET A and the Year 4 / 3 resources SET B, so they can be used with different ability groups in the same class without children being aware of the age level.
BUY ALL 6 PACKS TOGETHER (Sets A and B): KS2 Mental Maths BIG BUNDLE
MORE INFO ON THE YEAR 5 / 6 BUNDLE:
15 PowerPoint Speed Tests
15 informal tests split across 3 PowerPoints, designed to be shown on the whiteboard with children recording answers on paper
One question to a slide allows students to focus for a few seconds before the next one comes up
The question slides are plain and uncluttered to minimise distractions
Run the PowerPoint presentation on a timer or click it on yourself, perhaps allowing a little longer for more challenging questions
Each test features 20 questions involving a variety of mathematical skills
At the end of each test, the same 20 slides are repeated, with the answer added clearly
Children can mark their own or a partner’s work to reduce your workload
If short of time, whizz through the answers but the idea of each answer appearing with its question like this is that it allows for important discussions about strategies
Additional PDF version included
216 Self-Check Cards
A flexible resource that can be incorporated into many mental maths games and activities within the classroom, especially oral starters
Laminate and use again and again as starter and early finisher tasks
There are 12 calculations on each A4 sheet. Leave them as 18 A4 sheets or cut each of the question cards separately to create 216 cards.
There are versions both with and without the answers printed below the questions
The with-answers versions could be used by students questioning each other
The version without the answers could be used by individuals testing themselves
Separate answer card is included, which individuals could consult
8 CrossNumber Puzzles Worksheets
A fun resource for early finisher tasks, mental starters, homework etc
Tasks for individuals, pairs or small groups
As in a crossword puzzle, children find it easier to work out some of the more challenging questions once they’ve filled in the easier ones as digits will already be there for them
Answer grids for all 8 puzzles are included and could be printed for students to self-check (or displayed later on the board), cutting down on your marking!

FRENCH TOPICS TO EXPLORE…
French KS2 / KS3 MEGA BUNDLE 1
French KS2 / KS3 MEGA BUNDLE 2
French KS2 / KS3 MEGA BUNDLE 3
5 KS2 Year 4, 5 or 6 spelling games to make learning about homophones and near homophones fun. These ‘splat’ SPaG activities include the following words that are often muddled up and misspelled:
there / their / they’re (64 sentences included)
it’s / its (64 sentences included)
where / were / we’re / wear (64 sentences)
whether / weather (32 sentences)
knew / new (32 sentences)
CONTENTS:
1 PDF document (19 pages)
1 PowerPoint (5 slides)
SAVE by purchasing this with more homophones splat games as part of this Homophones BUNDLE.
The games revolve around a total of 256 sentences which model a variety of structures so that while children are learning about the spelling of commonly confused words they are also learning about how to use a range of openers, connectives, sub-clauses etc to construct interesting sentences. Many sentences are silly to further engage children!
It’s a challenge to make SPaG work active and engaging, rather than relying solely on worksheets and these homophones splat games are ideal for fun consolidation during the main part of SPaG lessons or can be used as purposeful early finisher and/or starter activities. If you print and laminate them all, children could self-select the homophones they need to practise.
It is best played in small groups, where children each take a sentence card which features 8 sentences with a homophone word in it (homophone words are printed in bold). Children take it in turns to read a sentence from their card while the others compete to splat the correct homophone flashcard (homophone flashcards are included in black and white as well as fun colour ‘explosion’ style cards so you can choose which to print). The first student to hit the correct homophone word scores a point. Students could lose a point for hitting the wrong word to stop them being tempted to guess early.
The PowerPoint includes a slide for each game and features the homophone words for splatting as a whole class version on a ‘splattable’ whiteboard, should you so wish.
