This fully editable board game adds fun for children who are learning to read.
There are 21 spaces in which you can add any word you wish for children to practice reading. The board game is also A3 size so the words are easy to see.
The idea is that 2-4 children take turns rolling the dice. If they are able to read the word that they land on then they can remain there, if not then they move back to where they just were before they rolled.
This is one of my personal favourite resources, not just because both I and the children love it, but also because you can enter in any word set you like. I even play this with my son and it really encourages him to focus on pronouncing the words as perfectly as he possibly can.
This is a fully editable A4 version of the memory game. The front of the memory cards are all the same pattern and help to obscure what is on the other side.
When I use this in class I have those plastic A4 folders that I insert the memory cards into. It helps keep them in one piece and means that you don’t need to print the covers every time, just insert the new words. In fact, I don’t even bother to take the old memory cards out, they’ve just built up in there over time.
If you’re not aware of how to play the game, the basic idea is this…
Split the class into at least 2 teams. I usually have them sit in a line either side of the grid of cards. That way they can take turns in pairs down the line and other team members can try and remember the location of the previous cards. The pair then turns over two of the cards, leaving them in place, so both teams can see what they are. If they are a pair then they take them with them as one point. If they aren’t a pair, then they turn them over and its the next teams turn.
Here are some ideas of how you can use the giant memory game in class:
a) Matching words with their definition.
b) Joining up parts of a word or sentence.
c) Calculations and their answer, for example a particular times table.
d) Verbs and their past tense form.
e) Labels and their respective picture.
*The example I’ve used in this upload is of adult and baby names for different animals. *
There are so many ways you can use this game and you don’t even have to limit yourself to pairs. It could be a set of three that has to be found. Like many things, this potential of this game is only limited by the range of your creativity!
The children love it and it also helps to reinforce content, encourages teamwork, as well as improving memory and paying attention.
Several length word problems aimed at LKS2. Involving mainly addition and subtraction.
Small spaces after each question for children to draw models and show their working.
The final question involves calculating the perimeter of a basketball court from the given diagram.

This colourful A3 board game is fully editable. You can change the contents of any of any square on the board. There are so many ways you an adapt this for different lessons. Here are a few examples…
a) Maths
Write calculations in each box for the children to solve
b) Reading
Write tricky phonics words or as I have done with this other uploads on here, write word endings and beginnings. You could also have the children use the word in context in a sentence or explain its definition etc.
c) Science
Write questions relating to your topic in the box, or add in question spaces where children have to pick up a card with a question on. You could even get the class to create their own question cards.
All you need for the game is a dice and between 2-5 players. Each of the ideas above follow the same style game play. That is, if you are able to solve the problems or read the words in the space you land on, then you are able to remain there. If not, then you go back to where you were before you rolled.
You can also get creative and add in your own special spaces such as miss a go or roll again. Or you can get really creative and add in special reasons. For example, you helped a friend in need, move forward four spaces, or you fell off your bike and broke your head, miss a go. etc.

This little app called, ‘Hidden’, allows you to play a reveal the picture activity. It consists of numbered tiles which will disappear when clicked on, revealing part of the picture that lies behind.
There are two templates included:
The first has 12 numbered boxes with text boxes behind each. This allows you to write in your own questions. If the individual/team answers the question correctly, then part of the picture can be revealed for them to have a guess at what it is.
The second template has 36 tiles but no question boxes underneath. It can be used as a reward system for answering verbal questions.
I often find and use pictures with camouflaged animals in so that they are tricker to guess, even with many different parts revealed.
This pack contains 18 large coloured subject labels with corresponding visuals. It can be used for displays of many types but it was created to be used as a visual timetable/schedule. Once printed, laminate and use stcky tac on the back make for easy adjustment.

This is the electronic take on the classic memory game and it’s fully editable! Just add in pairs (or groups) of words for matching up. Best to be projected in front of the class and have two teams compete.
There are 24 numbered tiles that reveal the words underneath when clicked on. I’ve also included one click scoring systems (with a max 12 points for each of the two teams) as well as a hide and reveal all button.
This is great for reinforcing new vocabulary but can also be used for anything which can be split into two parts. For example, a word cut in half, a word and definition, a word and picture, a verb and its past tense form, synonyms or even a maths calculation and answer. There are so many different possibilities!
It’s also good point for introducing locational memory strategies and mnemonics.

This worksheet is made up of 2 parts. The first involves filling in the missing information for the table about the 8 planets in our solar system. Children will need to research and find the information using books and/or the internet. Please see the preview for further information about the groups of information required.
The second part is a true or false activity with statements that directly relate to the information in the table.
This is quite an extensive activity and children will need plenty of time to collate their research and fill it in correctly. It works well as a small group activity (2-3 children). All the answers are included on the second page.

The Challenge
This Code Breaker Challenge is made up of 4 challenge sheets, each containing three sets of questions about multiplication and division. The content is based on the Whiterose topic - Multiplication and Division for Year 3 (Spring Block 1). There is also a final challenge sheet for obtaining the master lock key.
The Setup
Ideally, the Code Breaker Challenge requires a box which can be locked with four three digit combination locks and one (master) padlock.
How to Use
Fill the box with treasure, for example some sweets and then setup the combinations on each of the locks and lock the box with them and the master lock.
Split the class up into four teams and provide each team with one of the challenge sheets.
Start a timer of approximately 30 minutes (depending on the ability and age of your class).
Each team works together to solve the challenge and tell the teacher the three digit code. If they get it correct, they may open their lock. If not, then they will need to check their answers.
Once all four combination locks have been opened, or even after the first team has finished, provide the master lock challenge. If they complete it correctly and within the time, they can then have the master lock key to open the treasure box.
Great Fun!
The children absolutely love the Code Breaker Challenge and we repeat it at the end of every major maths unit. They really need to work together and check their work carefully if they are to succeed in opening the box and retrieving the treasure within.
The documents is fully editable so you can use it as a template to create your own challenges if you like. You can also use it for other subjects as well, but it definitely lends itself to maths the most.
I hope you and your children enjoy it as much as mine do!
This challenge is one of many. Please take a look at my shop for other units. Thank you.
This quiz is designed to accompany Curriculum Maestro’s Dynamic Dynasties Unit. There are 15 questions plus a bonus. All of the content is based on the unit and it makes for a good team or individual quiz to help assess ad review at the end. Each question has a one minute timer (click to start) included on the slide.
When I use it, I have the children split into groups and they work together to record their answers on their white board before revealing it at the end of the one minute timer. Points can be awarded and questions can be reviewed straight away, rather than all at the end.

This large (A3-sized) pixel/8-bit style board game is fully editable. There are a variety of different spaces already set which make for a really interesting game - I’d say much more exciting than your regular Snakes and Ladders style game.
The second and third pages of this resource are the question cards which you can easily create to fit with any topic. When the player lands on the question mark space, they select a question card and if they answer correctly they may roll again. I’ve also included a variety of 8-bit style characters that you could print off to use as player pieces.
All you really need to play is a printer and a die. You could even project it and play it that way! I personally print and laminate a number of copies so groups of 3-4 can play together.
My children really love to play this. It’s a fun and naturally competitive way to review the content at the end of a unit. I hope your students also enjoy it! If they do, please kindly leave a review. Thank you!
This large (A3-sized) board game is a fully editable remake on the classic game of Snakes and Ladders. There are pipes that players fall down and vines that they can climb up.
