This is a spreadsheet I used to create greater interest in athletics with my KS3 boys. Simply fill in your students names and info. and then when they complete an athletics event, their score can be recorded and points are allocated based on their performance. The spreadsheet will add up all their points and rank them so the best all-rounder should accumulate the most points IF they complete all the events. Also, a colour is given to some scores: Bronze, Silver or Gold, utilising the scoring system from the ESAA Award Scheme. These 'medals' are hard to achieve in Year 7 but by year 9 there should be a number of students achieving these scores. This is why it's such a good resource to create interest year after year as students attempt to beat their previous scores/times/distances. Any feedback, positive or negative, is greatly appreciated. Please note, for girl's, the standards are different and would need to be inputted into the spreadsheet.

This is a power point that looks at many of the events and personalities of 2015 and asks questions about them. The answers are revealed before moving on to the next question. They are in order of the month in which they occurred and , where appropriate, have further interesting , contextual information. This is an ideal resource for returning to school at form time/register or for a fun lesson. To give everyone a chance of success, some questions are multiple choice. Any feedback, good or bad, is gratefully received. Many thanks.

You can run this activity over a number of days or as one longer activity. There are over 50 questions that need to be cut out and folded over and an answer sheet. Each student picks a question and then answers it on their sheet. The questions are all personal and are designed to reveal a little about their personal history, their thoughts and their interests. Once complete, they return their questions and pick another. This can be done alternatively in pairs where the first student would ask their neighbour the question and write down their response so that they are learning about their classmate. The next question has to be asked to someone else and their sheet completed thereby getting to know other people too. This information can be used for a class display or a quiz based upon their classmates or just for fun to look at the following year. Sample questions: What is your favourite photo? If you could invent anything, what would it be? Some questions are closed questions, try and get students to expand upon a "Yes," or "No," answer.

Powerpoint based quiz with the following 5 rounds: Round 1: Classics. Match the authors to the famous horror books they wrote. (5 questions) Round 2: Ghosts. Multiple choice questions with contextual facts attached. (5 questions) Round 3: Fill in the blanks. The witches spell from Macbeth has five words missing. What are they? Round 4: History. 5 multiple choice questions on the origins and traditions of Hallowe'en. Round 5: Fear. 10 True or False questions based on unusual fears. Answers are revealed either at the end of the round or before the next question so that students don't get bored waiting for the answers. This means that, if you're keeping score, this should be done as the quiz is ongoing. I would utilise whiteboards for the kids to write down their answers and display them either individually or as a group.

Continuing the theme from previous powerpoint, covering recreation (both physical and outdoor), intrinsic/extrinsic motivation and lifelong sports. First slide is a 'Do now,' activity. I have no idea who it is but it should spark some interest!\nPlease feel free to comment, I'd appreciate some feedback.

This is an ideal activity for form time or even as a lesson starter to come back to over the year with difficult (boys) groups. The Premier League Quiz has approx 50 questions and match-up activities all in rounds of 10 marks to help you keep tabs on scores. You could even do the quiz over a number of days/weeks as there are 6 separate rounds on topics like 'Last Season', and 'Premier league Legends.' All the question slides are visually stimulating with either photographs or information boxes to add context and interest. As an ongoing activity I have included a Premier League prediction sheet that, in conjunction with the powerpoint presentation will allow students to predict what happens in the next season. These sheets can be re-visited periodically to see how accurate they were. A prize could even be awarded for the most accurate. There is also a number of team selector sheets where students can create their own Premier League team. I have included three different formations and left one blank in case they want to create their own formation. Any and all feedback gratefully received. Any questions, please let me know.

This is a power point presentation with an attached worksheet. I created it for a couple of reasons: The first being that going through all the information would reinforce learning and also to fill in any gaps in understanding. The second was to allow everyone to have a good set of notes to use as a revision aid, hence the worksheet. My intention was to fly through the presentation, adding contextual information and answering any questions that are raised. This worked well as it limited opportunities for students to fall behind as it was such a fast pace, you couldn't afford to have a chat or day-dream. The presentation is littered with questions for students to answer periodically in order to express their understanding. All questions refer to the pre-release of the AQA exam in 2014 where a local PE teacher was trying to encourage students to take up netball. She was also a player at the local netball club, Westshore. With a little explanation this shouldn't be a problem. This whole revision unit can take anywhere between 1 hour and 3 hours to complete. Elements can be given as homework if required with the power point made available to students. Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated whether positive or negative.

This is similar to my Rugby World Cup resource but is significantly bigger. I've designed it as an ongoing resource to be returned to every form time for the duration of the Euro tournament. It comes with a powerpoint that has all the participating teams on it. If you play the powerpoint then the images will quickly change. Press "S" and the slideshow will stop on a team. Press "S" again to re-start the slideshow. Using this method, each child can randomly select a team to follow. I did this with my form with a prize if their randomly selected team won the tournament. This team will also feature in their booklet as a research project. The booklet starts with a page about the hosts of the tournament, France. This is a research activity and so access to computers or books will be required. There are two sheets which look identical but this is not the case. One has prompts to assist lower ability students with some French historical characters to research. The next page looks at the history of the tournament and again has a differentiated version for lower ability students. Following on from this is a picture quiz where students have to name the winners of the previous tournaments. Next is a research project where students are asked to design a poster for their previously selected team. There is a differentiated version for lower ability students with a number of prompt questions to help with research. The next two sheets direcly relate to Northern Ireland. The first task is to create a song/rap or chant about their nations success. The next task is to design the Northern Ireland football kit. Next is an art project looking at the work of Robert Delauney, a famous French artist with a particularly bright and vivid style. Students are asked to reproduce his work and this can be extended to adapt a football picture into his style of work and a blank canvas for the truly creative. There follows a focus on four famous players with an attached fact file and a drawing to colour in. Once this is completed there is a blank fact file for students to pick their favourite player and complete accordingly. Finally there is a puzzle page with riddles and a word-search. The answers are on the final sheet. There are a number of ways in which you can run this project: You could compile the workbooks beforehand and hand them out so that they are differentiated to each class members ability. You could hand out each page individually and then compile them at the end. My ideal would be that everyone gets a different sheet so that everyone is doing a different task within the same time frame and then they are compiled at the end. Any feedback, positive or negative, is greatly appreciated.

This is similar to my Rugby World Cup resource but is significantly bigger. I've designed it as an ongoing resource to be returned to every form time for the duration of the Euro tournament.

Powerpoint with groups of ten true or false questions in seven rounds: Football teams. Are the names provided the real names of world football teams? Butterflies. Are these the names of real British butterflies? Countries. Are the names provided the real names of countries? Yellow. Are the words provided real synonyms for the colour yellow? 999. Are the statements provided real requests for the emergency services? Taylor Swift. Facts about Taylor which may or may not be true. Video Games. Are the titles provided the real titles of past video games? A bit random I know, but I didn't do this to fulfill some Ofsted criteria, I did it because I thought it may interest and enthuse students. Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated, positive or developmental. Thanks

This is a differentiated resource designed to help students improve their research skills as well as finding out more information about parkrun. parkrun is featured on the AQA PE GCSE pre-release material about Lucy and as such, I wouldn't bet against a question or two on parkrun being in the exam. There are two colours of sheet included, red and blue. Blue have prompt questions and weblinks to assist lower ability students with their research. Red don't and are aimed at higher ability students. Each sheet is slightly different with different questions and different celebrity parkrunners to investigate. It therefore encourages independent learning. This can be be completed in a lesson if the ICT provision allows for it or as an extension or revision task. It would be ideal for homework too. They are designed to be printed out on A3. Any feedback, positive or negative is appreciated.

A Christmas themed quiz with rounds of between 5 and 10 questions each. Round 1: True or False Round 2:Mince Pies! Round 3: European Christmas Round 4: Top 10 Toys Round 5: Christmas No. 1's Round 6: Anagrams Round 7: Multiple Choice Round 8: Quotes Round 9: Numbers Round 10: Christmas Crackers Tie-Breaker Answers are revealed either at the end of the round or before the next question so that students don't get bored waiting for the answers. This means that, if you're keeping score, this should be done as the quiz is ongoing. I would utilise whiteboards for the kids to write down their answers and display them either individually or as a group but I've included an answer sheet should you want students to write down their answers. Please note: This is a UK quiz but most of the questions should be applicable for the US but you may need to check spellings (colour/color) and if not, they can easily be replaced.

The first lesson is on the components of fitness, it is a power-point that goes through each element and has an accompanying worksheet for those who are less able. The last task is to rank the components in order of importance for different sports, the worksheet has two different pages for this task so that students using the sheets will have different sports to discuss, eliminating copying and promoting discussion. The second lesson is on skill-related factors of fitness, again it is a power-point and has an accompanying worksheet for the less able. Any and all feedback is gratefully received, positive or developmental. This resource was created for the AQA spec but can easily be adapted should you require.

This is is a powerpoint that highlights some of the interesting, unusual and factual moments of 2016. We start in January and move through to December with 10 questions for each month on a variety of topics. Questions are a variety of multiple choice, true or false, match ups and ordinary questions. Most slides have additional, contextual information to add interest when the answer is revealed. Any and all feedback is greatly received, no matter whether it is positive or developmental. Happy New Year.

This is the classic "Lost at Sea," exercise where students are presented with 15 items that they should rank in order of importance on their life raft having been "Lost at Sea." It comes with a power point presentation that details the task, gives tips on completion and shows the correct answers. Also it has a written sheet with the directions on for the students on, an answer sheet for them to complete and an answer sheet for the teacher with rationale for each ranking. It is entirely up to you how you run the exercise but, for me, the most important part is how the students come to a decision and end up agreeing as opposed to getting the correct answers. I have done this and the post-mortem discussion is always the most valuable and where one sees the best responses from students.

This is a resource that I created just for fun to have on hand in those awkward moments when you have some time with a class or form that you did not expect to have. It's entirely for fun but I know it will cause arguments and discussions as, quite simply, you will not be able to believe what you see. Any and all feedback is gratefully received, whether positive or developmental.

This years pre-release material for the 2017 AQA GCSE PE exam is about a year 10 student called James. I'm providing 11 questions on a sheet ready for immediate use as a test or exam. Each answer is worth between 2 and 8 marks. Each answer requires a structured, written answer. Depending on the ability of the students, the test should last about 55 minutes. For those who finish early, they can mark each others papers with the comprehensive Mark Scheme provided. Both exam and mark scheme can be retained for future revision work.

Question sheets 1-7 are best printed out on A3. I always kept a few of these in my classroom as extension tasks or homework. They are designed to encourage students to plan an answer before writing. Q1: Other subjects relevance to PE Q2: Qualities of a successful first aider Q3: Funding an athlete Q4: Unsuitable sponsorship Q5: Effects of fatigue Q6: How exercise affects the c/v system Q7: How correct technique prevents injury Quiz, quiz, trade is a starter and plenary activity where every student has a slip of paper with a questions and its answer on it. They go around the room and ask someone their question. Once they have answered it, the correct answer is given. Then they swap roles. Once the second question has been answered, they trade questions and find someone new. This can continue as long as you wish but allows for lots of people to ask and be asked questions. The plenary at the end is simply the teacher asking the questions again. Everyone should be able to provide an answer! I like to have the class all stand up, they can sit down when they've answered a question correctly. The revision loop is a series of answers with an unrelated question on the bottom. Each student gets one of these slips and has to use their answer to answer someone else's question. Next, two Tarsia jigsaw puzzles. Simply cut out and muddle up and then re-arrange. Lots of ambiguity to promote discussion and problem solving. These resources will save hours of prep. and can be used repeatedly as part of your revision. Any feedback, positive or developmental, is greatly appreciated.

This has been created to allow students to understand the celebration that is the Rugby League World Cup and hopefully foster an interest in a minority sport at a time of year when there is not an awful lot happening in the world of sport. I've created this so that all students using it can come complete a workbook that is different from everyone else's but also differentiated to their needs. For example, there are three sheets on Legends, each one has a different task that is aimed at different levels of ability. Students should/could choose or be given a team to follow and have as their nominated team and spark some extra interest in the tournament. Pages are interchangeable so that fast workers can readily move onto the next page whereas slower workers can sheets that they may access more readily. Activities include: *Research activities on the host nations and history of the tournament. *Creating your own opening ceremony. *Matching key terms to their definitions. *Researching nominated team. *Focus on legendary players. *And more This resource can easily be adapted for the other home nations. Any and all feedback, positive or developmental, is greatly appreciated.
