Each task focuses on a different topic and students must work together to escape the temple in time! Pack includes: * Lesson plan/running order * Eleven activities, each focusing on a different topic: * Some images for use as posters/promotional materials Topics covered: * Directions and places in the town * Food and drink * Shopping * Personal information and family * Hobbies * Daily routine * School * Health * Holidays * Jobs * The environment This activity was originally designed to be used as a fun way of revising some key GCSE vocabulary during an Easter School revision session. It can last up to a few hours. Can be used as an after school session or over the course of a week during lesson time. We were lucky enough to have access to a library with a large basement beneath it and students split into two groups and communicated using walkie-talkies provided by the school. This added to the drama — we had a drama student teacher dressed up as a monster and the students in the basement used torches to navigate from task to task, trying to complete activities within a given time or risk one member of the team being ‘caught’ by the monster and given a short time out. It can be easily adapted to work within a classroom, with the ‘research’ group sitting around a table with dictionaries, ready to assist the group completing the tasks.
