This bundle includes some of my favourite ways to enjoy summer with a class while also keeping them focused and engaged on their learning. Football Multiplication game. The aim of the game is for the children to see who can cross the pitch board game first. Each player has 15 Match Attax cards and different coloured football pieces. The children will take it in turns to be the ‘attacking’ player. They will roll the dice and multiply the number on the dice by the number for ‘attack’ on their player’s card. The opposite player will then roll their dice and multiply that number by the number for the ‘defense’ on their player’s card. The child with the highest score wins and gets to place their football onto the pitch. The children put their cards to the bottom of the pile and it’s now the other child’s turn to be the ‘attacker’. This is continued until one player has reached the opposition’s side of the pitch. **Avengers fraction card game and Comparing denominators fraction game. ** A Top Trumps based card game testing children’s knowledge of fractions of amounts. With 18 different cards featuring different Marvel Avengers heroes and villians, children will use these cards to play a game of Top Trumps. Each card has 3 different categories. Children will take it in turns to chose a category to compete against. For example, if one child chooses intelligence, they will both try to solve the fraction of amount question in that category. The child with the highest number, wins the other child’s card. The ultimate winner is the person who collects all the cards. Maths Dobble Snap cards game These game cards aim to reinforce the idea that the number of objects remains the same when they are rearranged, providing nothing has been added or taken away. There are 3 different games you can play with them to show cardinality. Dobble, find the matching pair and the cardinality hunt. The instructions included give detailed, visual instructions on how to play these games. You can also use them for simple adding lessons too. We use them to support children with EAL or SEND in a busy year 4/5 classroom. But can be used in any year group, or for specific individual’s planning. Predator, Prey, Producer game. This food chain game gets children to explore food chains in an interactive way. Simply cut the cards out, laminate if you like and then distribute them to the class. There are 32 cards in the set and they all match up to a specific food chain. Once they have found their food chain and put it together, children can then identify which are the producers, the prey and the predators. I have used this with year 4 and year 5 classes before and it’s a great way to visually show them how a food chain works. The cards are editable, so to make it trickier you could remove the text from the bottom of the cards so that the children have to find their own food chains using their previous knowledge of living things and their habitats.

Both the This ‘Forgetful Santa’ booklet aims to support vocabulary acquisition of everyday items such as hats, boots, gloves as well as different colours. The children go through the booklet and identify what Santa has forgotten, and fill in the blanks for the sentence “Santa has forgotten his…” The final page includes extra fill in the blank sentences about Santa as well as space for children to experience writing their own sentences about Santa.This includes a word bank to support the children to work independently. Includes 2 work sheets for children with EAL or SEN. Children need to match the cut out gingerbread men with the digits on to match to the Gingerbread board that shows the pictorial representations of the numbers. This encourages subitising and supports children in linking the digits to the amount from 1-10. The second sheet focuses on children matching and learning the names of the different shapes. Children will need to cut the shapes out and match them to the named reindeer shapes above. All of these worksheets are a great starter activity or full lesson together when combined. Both encourage independent working and are linked specifically to the Standard 4 of the Pre-Key Stage standards.
