<p>A Christmas version of the Lobster Pot Game - including play sheets, teacher guide and variants to extend the game.</p> <p>The Lobster Pot Game is a well-known maths game, suitable for UKS2 and KS3. It is helpful for reinforcing probability, times tables and decision theory - while also being a lot of fun. It is highly requested by my maths groups and is a staple of the end of term. This version has a Christmas theme - catching reindeer!</p> <p>Each day, players distribute their reindeer traps either in the Mystic Wood (more risk, more reward) or in the Green Wood (less risk, less reward). Using the money earned, they can purchase further traps and so increase their profits on later days. The aim is to have enough money at the end of each week to pay a steadily-increasing rent.</p> <p>This contains everything you need to play the game with your class, including dedicated worksheets and full instructions for running the game. Simply print and play!</p> <p>**If your class enjoyed this kind of game, have a look at these too:<br /> <a href="https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/end-of-term-energy-game-earth-day-geography-13068208">The Energy Game</a> - No-prep lesson about energy generation - dice game with full lesson plan including reflection activities.

<p>Knowledge organiser for the ‘Why do some people believe God exists?’ Focuses on main arguments (design, first cause, evil, personal experience) with vocabulary.</p> <p><strong>Good and Evil</strong>:<br /> Some theists think that the good things that happen in the world are evidence that God exists and that we should be grateful for them. Some theists also think that it is wrong to blame God for moral evil because it is caused by human choices, not by God. Some atheists think that natural evil, such as floods, earthquakes and disease, are evidence that God does not exist.</p> <p><strong>Design</strong>:<br /> Some theists think that such a complex and beautiful world must have been designed by God. Some atheists argue that evolution is a better explanation for the amazing variety of living things in the world, so this does not prove God exists. Some theists agree that evolution produced plants and animals, but believe that God is involved at the start or throughout the process and that it has a purpose.</p> <p><strong>First Cause</strong>:<br /> Many theists believe that the universe could not have appeared out of nowhere, so must have been created by God. Some atheists argue that the universe was created by the Big Bang. Some theists agree, but believe that God was responsible for the Big Bang.</p> <p><strong>Personal Experience</strong><br /> Some theists believe in God because of personal experiences. These might include prayers or positive life experiences. Some theists also believe that they have experienced a miracle, or that someone they know or have heard about has experienced one. Some theists believe that this personal experience stops their life from being meaningless.</p>
