“I love the fact that this is a quiz of scientific questions with a Christmas theme (and not just another quiz). It helps students link/apply their scientific knowledge to new contexts. Many of the answers give additional pictures which can be used to explain the science. The pictures and animations used are superb and add to the “entertainment”. Well worth the money, it would take me days to produce this.”

This resource contains an asylum seeker/refugee simulation activity pack. It is an ideal resource for Refugee Week / Refugee Day in June.
It includes an editable lesson plan, a simulation activity and a set of follow-up activities.
The simulation, in PowerPoint form, contains 8 scenarios. Pupils are divided into groups and are required to make decisions/take actions. Some of the scenarios are accompanied by a timer with dramatic music playing to simulate the confusion in which refugees have to make quick decisions.
Scenario 1 - War has broken out. Members of the group have to leave their homes. They are required to choose 6 items to take with them.
Scenario 2 - A pick-up truck arrives to take the group to a boat on the coast. The driver speeds away as fast as he can. He hits a speed bump and one of the group’s bags falls off the back of the truck.
Scenario 4 - The truck continues its journey towards the coast but runs out of fuel and the group has to walk. To make the journey easier everyone has to take the heaviest item out of their bag to make it lighter.
Scenario 6 – The group reaches the coast. There is a small boat waiting. However, the boat can only take four people.
Scenario 7 – The man with the boat wants payment. Members of the group must give any money they have to him. If they have no money they have to give him their most valuable item.
Scenario 8 -The boat sets sail. The wind gets up and the waves become rough. Water from the waves gets into the boat. Your bag is drenched. Anything which could be affected by water is ruined.
Review: "Wow, my year 10 History students loved this lesson. Each student was engaged and even students who normally have to be pushed to answer questions were eagerly filling out the review questions at the end. The added music to the PPT really added to the drama of the scenarios. This was an exciting and top-quality product."

This is a fun game for Halloween in school and for Halloween parties. This resource contains a Halloween-themed version of ‘Stop the Bus.’ It is a PowerPoint game that can be played with the whole class or the whole school in assembly time.
Instructions
Put the pupils into teams of 2-4
Let the pupils take turns in choosing a picture. Click on the picture. Behind each picture is a letter. The letter will magically disappear so that pupils know the choices that are left.
Pupils have to think of one item to go in each category beginning with that letter. A sheet for recording words is provided.
Teams have 60 seconds to complete the task. There is a timer on the slide. The witch image will gradually disappear and the end of the 60 seconds culminates in a witch’s cackle. Halloween background music plays whilst pupils think of words.
To return to the image page, click on the letter on the top right-hand corner of the witch slide.
If a team finishes before the 60 seconds, they shout “Stop the Broom!” Click on the slide to activate the witch’s cackle when all teams have to stop.
Teams score 1 point if they have an appropriate item in the category. They get 2 points if no other team has that word.
The length of time pupils have can be reduced or extended by altering the timing of the witch image.
Please note that the watermark on the preview images is not present on the resource itself.
