Coronation SPAG Game Year 6 SATS

This Year 6 Coronation Edition SATs game focuses on SPAG questions, covering similar formats and question areas as Spag paper 1 whilst also giving children an informative activity about King Charles during the run up to the coronation and over the bank holiday weekend.

SPAG Master is a game I use with Year 6 in the last few weeks before the SATs. All questions in this Coronation Edition are based around King Charles so you can revise and discuss the coronation at the same time!

You know how it feels - when you’ve done past paper after past paper and you still need to work on retrieval but you need some ENERGY!
This is a quiz which involves partner work, team names and unlimited points and my children LOVE it.
Covering all of the Punctuation and Grammar question areas from Paper 1 in a quiz format.
• Children work in pairs for this Coronation Edition SPAG quiz.
• For each section (PPT slide) each child will be given 2 to 3 minutes (your discretion) to answer the questions independently on their own piece of paper.
• The next 2 minutes will be sharing and discussing answers with their partner.
• Before sharing, they will need to decide upon a final answer as a team.
• This is great for peer work, talking through HOW they came to their answer.
• Points are decided by the teacher: correct answers; superb explanations; good behaviour; staying focused
• I also deduct points to maintain behaviour management: shouting out, arguing etc. I find that the children learn very quickly that it’s all a bit of fun in the midst of all their revision and behave well beyond the first couple of deductions!
• Having ultimate power over the points also ensures that you can award points to children with low self esteem who need the boost.
• All questions are based around King Charles.
I show SPAG Master as a PPT presentation and everyone looks at the whiteboard but I have also included a PDF in case you need to print out questions or if you wish to air drop to iPads.
Another PPT and PDF contains the answers which I use as a class so I can see what everyone is getting out of it, what my areas of need are, giving out points and also to keep up the energy. However, this could also be used for self marking.
