Two fun psychological tests that the students love!
Journey in Life - Try to get your group as relaxed as possible and ask them to close their eyes and listen to you. Set the scene of a day in the country. They are just about to start out on a walk. Ask them to imagine each of the following in turn, and each time write down what they saw in their imagination. Tell them they should write down the first image that comes into their head – not think about it for too long. After they have written down each description you can interpret their images using the ideas below.
DRAW A TREE - Give each student a blank piece of paper and ask them to draw a tree. Tell them they are not to ask any questions about how to draw it – it is up to them. Then take in all the drawings and display them on the floor or where they can all see them. You may be able to group them at this stage. The following are possible interpretations of their drawings – they could make up their own interpretations!
A really fun and interactive used in creative writing lessons. The students work individually or in a group in this exciting quiz on famous opening & final lines in books/TV/movies. The following are included: Toy Story, A Christmas Carol, Of Mice and Men, Matilda, A Wizard of Oz, Harry Potter etc.

I made this for my students when I wanted them to revise prior units even when moving onto a new topic. Each of these starters are 5-10 mins long. They get a slide with an exam language question, sample quotes and a PEE sentence starter. They have 2 mins to write their PEE.
The students seem to like it as it’s fun and competitive. Great for peer assessment too. It’s worked really well for me.
A really great collection of starters (78 slides). Each starter has a selection of quotes from a real EDUQAS exam. The students need to use the quotes to write an exam answer (PEE or simple answer). Sometimes a starter sentence will be included for weaker students. I give each class three mins to complete the starters against the clock. The following starters are included:
