Communicative or individual activity including 3 different sheets of Alien code, the answer key, and a key to help students with the decoding. 3 sets of Alien code with a key. Leave the code or messages in a 'space ship' for students to find and let them find the other part elsewhere or simply explain that you 'found these strange messages at home'. Students either communicate to decode the messages or work individually, depending what you want them to do the activity for. Sheet 1 are motivational 'fortune cookie' style messages. Sheet 2 include a treasure hunt based on 5 clues. Sufficiently generic to work in any school. Sheet 3 is a letter from the aliens requesting help. Students decode the message and then the teacher produces a list of whatever the students need to do in order to help them (for example, complete their maths homework, or find the answer to a difficult question.). The children (grades 2-8) I've done this activity with have loved it!

This is a spelling and vocabulary review game generator. it works with any words, so use it to review your weekly spelling lists in game form. A very straight forward tool. Simply type 20 words which you want students to review into a list, choose whether you want a snakes 'n ladders format or a more generic board game and print onto A4 or A3 paper. Words are placed randomly over the board. If you want to re-order the words, press F9 for a refresh and the games will regenerate. The games work as follows. Students roll a die, move a counter and spell or define the word they land on (variations would be simple, too - give a synonym/antonym etc). Playing small review games often is a much more effective system to get students to remember vocabulary than simply giving them a list of words. The game itself will work in any language. Try English, French, German, even Chinese. The kids will love it, too!
