Students love Escape Rooms and Rugby. Combine them and it is a hit. Capture their imaginations with this rugby themed escape room specifically designed with the Rugby World Cup in mind.
Students will read and learn about the origins of rugby, how to play, information on the cup, and its 2019 host Japan. After reading the material, students need to solve 5 puzzles based around each section of text in an escape room style format. This is also a fun way to develop and practice reading comprehension.
For those of you knew to escape rooms, instructions are given on how to set up and deliver this program. There is very little preparation to be done, but basically some printing, cutting and laminating which should take less than 20 minutes. On the day, all you need to do is group the students and scatter the the texts and clues around the room, then sit back back and watch the students have a blast.
In 2019, there are 20 countries participating including; Ireland, Scotland, Russia, Samoa, New Zealand, South Africa, Italy, Namibia, Canada, England, France, Argentina, USA, Tonga, Australia, Wales, Georgia, Fiji, Uruguay and the host country Japan. So whether you an an All Black, Wallaby, or a Springbok come and enjoy the fun.

These 3-Digit addition and subtraction with Regrouping worksheets provides an opportunity to practice mathematical skills as well as problem solving skills in a more practical context. The high interest topics of ghosts, zombies and witches in these mysteries are also highly motivating for this age group and will capture their imagination.
These math mysteries are designed for second, third and fourth grade students. Could also be used with struggling fifth grade students that need a little extra work and reinforcement in adding and subbing. I also leave some of the mysteries for my sub teacher.
Math Mysteries are an independent escape room (or crack the code) type of activity where instead of using locks, students identify suspects with puzzles and word problems . This mystery is perfect all year round, start of school, end of year and any season. (fall, spring, summer and winter). But has been specifically for Halloween in October.
This fun and engaging game is the perfect way to review, study or reflect with your class on ANZAC day I typically put the class into small groups and ask a member of the group to choose a color and number. That is the question that they have to answer. If correct they get one point. Then I move to the next group. Alternatively the whole class answers and then we tally up the points to get a winner.
I run it on an interactive whiteboard but would be equally successful on a projector, computer or TV screen. Alternatively it could be run for an individual student on their own device.
When you start the game press the shuffle button to randomize the questions ensuring that no game is ever the same. This means that this Jeopardy game can be used multiple times with the one class as it is different every time.
Once you have unzipped the file you will find a PowerPoint Macro Show. To run the game double click the file and make sure you say “yes” to running macros. If you do not the questions will not shuffle correctly. I have tested on a PC but it should work on other devices. If this is your first time with Macros let me know by personal message and I am happy to answer all your questions.
Celebrate the Commonwealth Games 2022 Birmingham with this fun 5 in a row bingo game. There are enough cards for the whole class. 35 bingo cards included. I have played this game with my own class this week and they loved it.
On each screen is a high quality image of the countries flag so that students can begin to associate which flag goes with which country.
This game can be run on computers, whiteboards or projectors. All that is required is that you print, cut and laminate the Number Boards and press start on the PowerPoint Show. If you don’t have access to the technology, no problem, I have included a document with all of the country names on. Then you can do it old school and pull them out of a hat.
The order of countries can be simply changed by pressing the shuffle button at the start. Each slide stays there for 10 seconds before it transitions to the next slide. If you want it to go quicker then simply click on it. I prefer to let it just run as it gives me a bit of quiet time while all the students are engaged.
Instructions have been included if you are not sure how to play.
Enjoy!!!

My class wanted a challenge so I gave them one. This Commonwealth Games word search is huge.

Mazes help fine motor control. Mazes require your students to control their pencils through the maze without hitting the black lines. This means that they must take their time rather than rushing, in order to have greater success. Progress can be observed as your students bump into the black lines less and less as they gain greater control of their writing utensils. Students use fine motor control in order to produce correct letter formation and legible handwriting.
Mazes are great for problem solving: Mazes help your students to work on their executive functioning skills, such as planning and brainstorming various strategies (e.g. starting from the beginning of the maze or working backwards from the end of maze).
Included in this pack are templates for your students to extend themselves by creating and sharing their own mazes with each other. This is one of my classes favorite things to do.
This Pack contains 20 A4 sized mazes and their solutions
