Blood Brothers Themes Revision

Ideal starter / plenary / revision activities!
Crossword and Wordsearch & Explain activities allow exploration and revision of themes in Blood Brothers.

These printable resources, (prints 2 per A4 sheet for crosswords and 1 per A4 sheet for wordsearch and explain) are ideal starter or plenary tasks, allowing assessment for learning, checking recall of key terms and spelling. These can be revisited at any point during the teaching of the unit to assess pupil knowledge retention.

A step beyond standard wordsearches, these demand pupils provide an explanation of each theme they are searching for. Crosswords require attention to spelling and recall of content from clues provided.

Also included are animated powerpoint slides, enabling self assessment or peer assessment. Word placement in the grid appears first, allowing teacher questioning of pupils to provide their definitions, which appear after a further click.

Wordsearches produced using an algorithm which checks and avoids any inappropriate words appearing in the grid, however, your own proofreading is a final check for the placement of any unintended words created by random letter combinations.
