This fact finding worksheet is made up of 10 statements about the human and physical geography of Thailand. Each statement has 1-3 blanks that the children have to fill in through either prior knowledge or researching on the internet or in books. The final section of the worksheet is a word search which contains many of the answers and other words too. Then the worksheet finished up with an open question about whether they would like to visit Thailand and why or why not. The worksheet serves as a nice introduction to various facts about Thailand and requires the children to think about what search terms to use to find the information they need effectively. I usually have the children work in pairs for this as they can bounce ideas off each other, discuss and divide the statements up between them. You can even provide a certain statement to each student in the class and then have them share their findings at the end for others to record.

This is a first person story about a volcanic eruption. Words are missing throughout the text and it’s the children’s job to fill in the blanks making sure it’s the correct part of speech (as stated in brackets) and also that it makes sense. This is an explosive Mad Lib! The first page of the document contains form fields so children can easily click and fill in the blanks. The second page is for printing off for children to fill in. Because of this, the worksheet is suitable for children to complete either online or offline. *Please note: The form functions don’t work in Google Docs, so it’s best to share the lined version instead. * Mad libs are a great way for children to personalise stories whilst learning about parts of speech and proper grammatical structure! I hope you enjoy the often crazy versions your children come up with!

This fun activity lets children explore that classic deserted island scenario. It presents pictures of 16 items from which the children have to choose three to take with them to be stranded with. They must explain verbally or in writing why they have chosen these items. The children could even suggest why other items would not be worth having. It’s worth encouraging the children to think of alternate uses for the items they have chosen too. This works both as an individual activity and as a group activity to promote effective communication between members.
