Use the scenarios provided or create your own and use the worksheet and calculations to work out how long it will take the drunk person to be under the legal limit to drive. Designed to create awareness for youngsters who might be tempted to drink and drive, or drive the morning after a binge drink.
This is an activity designed to create debate and discussion amongst learners around the subject of equality and diversity, employment and discrimination.
The cards can be used to identify the 9 protected characteristics, and to identify things that might affect them getting a job.
An activity for learners to discuss different signs and risks of radicalisation. They can discuss which ones they think are signs of it, and which are not. All the cards can either be a sign of radicalisation or not. They could be set a task to roleplay a scenario with some of the cards, or brainstorm in groups, other reasons for this change of behaviour. The end goal should be that the learners have an idea of what Prevent is for and to recognise signs of radicalisation. They should know the procedure within your establishment for reporting concerns.
This is a little activity to get learners thinking about the pros and cons of working for yourself. In groups, they discuss what they think would be a positive and what would be a negative. They can use them as discussion prompts, or to rate the positives from least important to most important. These activities are great opportunities for generating discussion and debate among the learners.
This is a single sided A4 summary of what British Values, Prevent and Safeguarding are. It was written to remind learners throughout the year, so that they would be able to answer confidently if Ofsted ask them what it is.
There is space to add your Safeguarding Team contact number and I have left it editable so that you can make changes to suit your institution.
I have designed some top trump cards to use for an activity - you can type into the white boxes to fill in your own information. I use mine for a career game but these can be used for anything. Put any picture or clipart in the top box and information in the others.
I designed this to record week by week attendance for individual learners and the overall classes, enabling me to flag any issues with learners, and to compare to previous years. The spreadsheet is colour coded to show increases and decreases in attendance for each learner. I have included a 2 page instruction on how to use the spreadsheet and the chart, and how to personalise it for your courses/groups. There is also instructions on how to connect the learner to their page on EBS/ProMonitor or whatever software you use which contains their contact details/profile etc.
I use this spreadsheet as my ‘desktop’, using it to navigate to different systems and to compile reports for area review meetings etc.
This is a set of 24 scenario cards, 12 Person A and 12 Person B. Any Person A card can be used with any Person B card which creates a range of scenarios between them. Person A has an issue which is effecting them at work. Person B is someone at work and have different responsibilities. The learners can role play these or they can be used as discussion prompts.
The subjects cover bullying, personal problems, work issues and motivation. They can be looked at in terms of work ethics, equality and diversity, appropriate behaviours, policies and procedures and problem solving.
These are 6 pictures i designed for students to describe to each other. They can sit back to back or facing each other as long as the picture is hidden. The student holding the image must describe it to the other student who must then draw as instructed. They must not use words to describe the item, like “boat” or “tree”, but rather describe lines and shapes.
These can also be used for team working activity, where one person describes it to a group of people, who must between themselves, draw the image - this means learners discuss among themselves where they think lines should go, they might delegate one person to do one stage each, or elect someone to draw with others guiding.
Lots of useful resources for printing off - lined paper and square paper in different sizes, black lines for placing under plain paper as a writing guide, comic strips, stage planners, and lots of others!
This is my attendance lesson with activities. I have included a brief lesson plan, the Power Point, and activity resources. The learners look at how their attendance would look to employers and highlights the importance of high attendance.
A short questionnaire for learners to find out what sort of mindset they have. I use this at the beginning and end of a session on Growth Mindset to see if their attitudes have changed.
This is an activity which encourages learners to design their own world, using information they have learned regarding population, landscape, culture etc. There are 8 pages, plus 3 extra blank pages for you to add your own sections, or to use as continuation sheets.
This is a activity for learners to sort and discuss various situations and whether they are a safeguarding issue. Learners can be asked to explain why they think they are, tutors can suggest further information to the situation. For instance, ‘Adding a member of staff on Facebook’ - what if they are related? etc
There are 45 cards to sort and two cards to be used as place mat for Safeguarding Issue, and Not a Safeguarding Issue.
These are a different 9 cards which describe various scenarios indicating safeguarding problems. Learners can use these to discuss risks, problems arising, things that might help. These get discussions flowing about the problems and to consider how people they interact with daily might be facing these problems. A good introduction to advise them what to do in these situations.
This is a great activity to do with learners around the subject of bullying and banter.
Learners must work together to decide how serious each word is, which generates conversation about the definition of each one, how serious they believe it is, if they have witnessed this or been subjected to it, and if they have found themselves doing it and not realised that its bullying.
You can cut out and laminate the arrows for stability and longevity. The scale can be cut and laminated and stuck together later in a strip.
