A geography skills games used to teach grid references in the form of the battleships game.
Each slide of the powerpoint is the teachers turn. This means that no cheating can take place.
Pupils use the blank grid to draw on their ships and marks off eack of the teachers turns (which is also shown on the powerpoint).
Once the first player has all of their ships sunk, the teacher loses.
Each student takes it in turn to read out their coordinates to try and sink the teachers ship.
A single hit sinks the entire ship.
It works incredibly well for all age groups.

Remember to always look at the needs of the school that you are applying to and address those in your letter.
A collection stem question tests that allow pupils to demonstrate understanding through a series of multiple choice (5 possible answers) tests.
At the bottom of the sheet pupils can instantly demonstrate an understanding of misconceptions.

Each one (with feedback) takes roughly 10 minutes.

A lesson that gets pupils to calculate their own carbon footprint based on a series of life style questions.
There are lots of on-line versions, but I wanted one that didn’t need any IT access.
Pupils create a pledge that demonstrates ways that they will try to reduce their own carbon footprint.
There is also a more complex GCSE style question that promotes an understanding of the global picture & why more developed countries would have a larger carbon footprint than developing countries. Or this may be set to change in relation to (often more costly) energy saving devices.
