A free trial of the many Millionaire Quiz resources available in my shop, featuring music, lifelines and sound effects. These versions of the quiz are easily the best available and feature failscreens, sound effects and all the tension of the TV show. Although this version is not editable, all of the other versions of this resource are fully editable so they can be catered to the abilities and understanding of your cohort. Please note, not all versions of the paid-for resources contain functioning lifelines - these will be changed as time goes on. Please read the descriptions for each or message me for clarity. N.B The original logos for Who Wants to be a Millionaire are property of Sony Pictures Television. For this reason they have not been included, but a similar non-trademarked version has.

Colour Synonym Flip-pack for desks/tables

Colour Synonym Flip-pack for desks/tables

(0)
These handy flip-packs enable children from Years 2-8 to improve their vocabulary choice within writing lessons. To create the final resource all you need to do is cut out each 'colour', laminate them and then hole punch through the hole on each laminated colour. A treasury tag can then be used to keep them all together. I have one of these on each desk my children sit at and they find them very useful. It also gets the point across that there are many ways of saying the same thing, but some ways are more impactful than others!
