Get students settled and engaged in the first seconds of their lessons with these lively ‘do now’ tasks, fully adaptable and themed for every season of the year. All slides have a solution slide which accompanies it. This is a huge 86 slide powerpoint which can be used as part of any different lesson. Suitable for primary age upwards - even my A Level students love these and I use them at the start of each lesson. There are enough here for you to use throughout the year. Use the slide at the start of your PPTs as a settler/ice breaker and to get students focused from the start of your sessions. Each slide has: a picture puzzle, a daily joke, a riddle and a word of the day. There is also a link to the day’s news to be used for tutorial/PSHCEE etc. These have proven so popular with my students both in remote learning and in the classroom; I hope you enjoy them!
