This is a fun starter or plenary activity based upon the Blockbusters TV show. Two teams (usually boys vs girls) complete to win hexagons by answering questions. The winning team makes a complete chain of hexagons across the board. This is a very dynamic version of this classic activity and can be edited to change all questions. The questions animate in with the intro theme and this has proven to encourage pupils to work on recall before they have even answered the questions. This is ideal for an observed lesson.
