Former Head of PE in secondary school in the North of England with 10+ years teaching experience.
My resources tend to be classroom based lessons for the GCSE PE course and form time resources when the register is done and everyone is staring at me expecting interesting and informative action!

This is similar to my Rugby World Cup resource but is significantly bigger. I've designed it as an ongoing resource to be returned to every form time for the duration of the Euro tournament.
It comes with a powerpoint that has all the participating teams on it. If you play the powerpoint then the images will quickly change. Press "S" and the slideshow will stop on a team. Press "S" again to re-start the slideshow. Using this method, each child can randomly select a team to follow. I did this with my form with a prize if their randomly selected team won the tournament. This team will also feature in their booklet as a research project.
The booklet starts with a page about the hosts of the tournament, France. This is a research activity and so access to computers or books will be required. There are two sheets which look identical but this is not the case. One has prompts to assist lower ability students with some French historical characters to research.
The next page looks at the history of the tournament and again has a differentiated version for lower ability students.
Following on from this is a picture quiz where students have to name the winners of the previous tournaments.
Next is a research project where students are asked to design a poster for their previously selected team.
There is a differentiated version for lower ability students with a number of prompt questions to help with research.
The next two sheets direcly relate to Northern Ireland. The first task is to create a song/rap or chant about their nations success. The next task is to design the Northern Ireland football kit.
Next is an art project looking at the work of Robert Delauney, a famous French artist with a particularly bright and vivid style. Students are asked to reproduce his work and this can be extended to adapt a football picture into his style of work and a blank canvas for the truly creative.
There follows a focus on four famous players with an attached fact file and a drawing to colour in. Once this is completed there is a blank fact file for students to pick their favourite player and complete accordingly.
Finally there is a puzzle page with riddles and a word-search. The answers are on the final sheet.
There are a number of ways in which you can run this project:
You could compile the workbooks beforehand and hand them out so that they are differentiated to each class members ability.
You could hand out each page individually and then compile them at the end.
My ideal would be that everyone gets a different sheet so that everyone is doing a different task within the same time frame and then they are compiled at the end.
Any feedback, positive or negative, is greatly appreciated.
Each quiz has a selection of 25 questions in different topics with each question having a different points value.
Decide on the points value and topic you want and the appropriate question pops up. Navigate to the answer using the arrows and then use the arrows again to navigate back to the question board. The options that have already been chosen appear on the question board shaded so that the same question cannot be asked twice in any one quiz.
The topics are as follows:
Quiz 1
Born on the 25th - identify the celebrities who have Christmas birthdays.
12 Days of Christmas - What were the gifts from the famous carol?
Christmas haters - Who are the people being described?
Santa Who? - Who are these famous people disguised as Father Christmas?
Christmas Trivia
Quiz 2
Cracker Jokes - finish off the joke.
Movies - identify the Xmas movie from the picture.
Santagrams - unravel the Xmas themed anagram.
Santa International - What is Santa known as around the world?
Santa Who? - Who are these famous people disguised as Father Christmas?
I'd split the class into groups and have each group take it in turns but it can be managed in many ways.
Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated, either positive or developmental.
Happy Christmas.

Powerpoint with groups of ten true or false questions in seven rounds:
Football teams. Are the names provided the real names of world football teams?
Butterflies. Are these the names of real British butterflies?
Countries. Are the names provided the real names of countries?
Yellow. Are the words provided real synonyms for the colour yellow?
999. Are the statements provided real requests for the emergency services?
Taylor Swift. Facts about Taylor which may or may not be true.
Video Games. Are the titles provided the real titles of past video games?
A bit random I know, but I didn't do this to fulfill some Ofsted criteria, I did it because I thought it may interest and enthuse students.
Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated, positive or developmental.
Thanks

There is a differentiated version for lower ability students with a number of prompt questions to help with research.
The next three sheets each relate to one of the home nations so that any students who have an allegiance to that nation can still participate. This task is to create a song/rap or chant about their nations success.
Again with specific home nations sheets is the next task which is to design their football kit.
Next is an art project looking at the work of Robert Delauney, a famous French artist with a particularly bright and vivid style. Students are asked to reproduce his work and this can be extended to adapt a football picture into his style of work and a blank canvas for the truly creative.

This is a differentiated resource designed to help students improve their research skills as well as finding out more information about parkrun.
parkrun is featured on the AQA PE GCSE pre-release material about Lucy and as such, I wouldn't bet against a question or two on parkrun being in the exam.
There are two colours of sheet included, red and blue. Blue have prompt questions and weblinks to assist lower ability students with their research. Red don't and are aimed at higher ability students. Each sheet is slightly different with different questions and different celebrity parkrunners to investigate. It therefore encourages independent learning.
This can be be completed in a lesson if the ICT provision allows for it or as an extension or revision task. It would be ideal for homework too.
They are designed to be printed out on A3.
Any feedback, positive or negative is appreciated.
Get ready for the end of term with fun resources to fill in those crazy times that senior leadership schedule but then don't actually plan for! You know what I mean.
Anyway, rant over. Fun quiz about the year we're about to leave behind, a Christmas quiz and a New Year target setting exercise to satiate those senior leaders and convince them that goal setting is the sole route to success!
Sorry, ranting again.
I’ve designed this as an ongoing resource to be returned to every regularly for the duration of the World Cup tournament.
It comes with a powerpoint that has all the participating teams on it. If you play the powerpoint then the images will quickly change. Press “S” and the slideshow will stop on a team. Press “S” again to re-start the slideshow. Using this method, each child can randomly select a team to follow. This team will also feature in their booklet as a research project.
The booklet starts with a page about the hosts of the tournament, Russia. It’s a research activity and so access to computers or books is helpful.
Next we look at the geography of Russia and the location of the stadiums. There are two sheets here which look identical but are not. One is aimed at a higher level than the other and this is distinguished by the World Cup icon in the top right. All future differentiated sheets for the higher ability have this icon.
Then we have the history of the tournament and again a differentiated version for lower ability students.
Following is a picture quiz where students have to name the winners of the previous tournaments.
Next is a research project where students are asked to design a poster for their previously selected team. There is a differentiated version for lower ability students with a number of prompt questions to help with research.
The next sheets each relate to the England football team. The tasks are to create a song/rap or chant, to design their football kit.
Next is an art project looking at the work of Wassily Kandinsky, a famous Russian artist with a particularly bright and vivid style. Students are asked to reproduce his work and this can be extended to adapt a football picture into his style of work and a blank canvas for the truly creative.
There then follows a focus on five famous players with an attached fact file and a drawing to colour in. Once this is completed there is a blank fact file for students to pick their favourite player and complete accordingly.
Next comes an English language task where students are asked to conduct a post-match interview with a player of their choice.
Finally there is a puzzle page with riddles and a word-search. The answers are on the final sheet.
There are a number of ways in which you can run this project:
You could compile the workbooks beforehand and hand them out so that they are differentiated to each class members ability.

This is a series of quizzes that can be used at any time, they are not date/occasion specific.
There are over 400 questions on a variety of topics ranging from the sublime to the ridiculous. There is a mixture of multiple choice, match-ups, true/false and regular questions.
Also included are two football activities, one is a workbook where students are asked to create their own club from scratch and the other is a predictions worksheet for the upcoming Premier League season.
Finally, there is a values based activity to help you and your students get to know each other.
Individually, these items have been selling at a combined total of £13.50.
