Tired of finding ways to practise times tables retention? Does the onus need to be put back on the children to practise instead of you doing all the work? This timestables game up to 12 x12 will capitivate your students’ attention. They will LOVE practising! Goosey, Goosey Gander is a times tables game with a twist. Everyone who has ever tried to pass a goose knows exactly how cantankerous they can be! And this card game encapsulates that evil energy! Children compete to pick cards and answer times tables questions correctly. If correct, they get to keep the card. The aim is to keep hold of the most cards when the timer ends. But there are sabotage cards in the deck! One of them being the ‘Goose With The Evil Laugh!’ When the goose is selected, you must put all your cards back! Your children may get another go, they may have to return one card or get a friend to return a card - this game is part skill and part luck! Either way, they will be hooked! Need to differentiate? Make it easier - remove times tables that your group is not ready for, remove the cards requesting the question when they are given the answer. Make it harder - request that children give all the factors for the solution cards rather than just giving one times tables fact. Eg. 24. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 Included: Child friendly instructions Playing cards with times tables up to 12 x 12 Playing cards with a solution, requesting the times tables question Sabotage cards Answer pages for children to self mark Backing for the reverse of the cards if you choose to laminate.

This resource is designed to encourage pupils to discuss Biblical Artwork to enhance their understanding of The Parable of the Good Samaritan. The session should have three parts: a. Reading the Scripture so that children are all familiar with the parable. b. Looking at various artworks one at a time and discussing what is noticed in each picture. I usually do this on PowerPoint. ie) What has the artist included? Why? What has the artist left out? Why? Why is this colour used? Is the picture modern? Why? etc. What is good about the picture? What do they feel it would benefit from adding or changing? What surprised them about the picture? What question would they ask the artist? There should be a lot of discussion generated. c. Children should choose one image to discuss further in their work. The worksheet aims for meaningful understanding of the parable and how it is relevant to their lives today. Teaching points: When answering written questions about the Biblical Art, children must answer the questions demonstrating their Biblical Knowledge. eg) What did you like about the painting? I liked the colours because it’s my favourite colour. I liked the how the artist has included the people who ignored the man. One of the people is turning their head around, showing that they knew they should have helped. What question would you ask the artist about this painting? How long did it take you? What inspired you? Why did you choose to make this a modern day picture and changing the gender of one of the people who ignored the man? Answer 1 in these examples shows no understanding. Answer 2 demonstrates knowledge of the parable and careful thought about their understanding of it. I hope you find this resource useful. If you do, please could you leave a review?
