A quick and fun way to select options.
The first slide gives a choice of 4 speeds, select one and it will transition to a spinning wheel. Click and the wheel will stop. When finished, click the arrow to go back to the start.
An outline for a whole school assembly for Primary school - Collective Worship. One I did for the first week of advent, but can be easily adapted for any week in December. Using the Bible passage Isaiah 9 (God's Son, The prince of peace, The king).
A fun way to give points to a class, group or individual. When they complete a classroom task, they choose a door which either has a 'bag of money' with plus points, or has a robber with minus points.
Also attached is a 'no robbers' variant.
Pick one of the three cars. Then click once to animate: the countdown, the race and the finishing medal reveal.
Can be used for a variety of classroom activities. I’ve used it as a plenary to finish a lesson with - answer a question, if it’s the correct answer then the child can pick a car. The three kids then race - bonus point for coming first.
A quick game to use in a variety of ways in the classroom to make a lesson fun! Many sheep will jump over the fence, kids count them and see who's answer was correct. They will jump in an irregular pattern - sometimes in groups or sometimes on their own.
You can copy and paste the slides and make your own, I've written step by step instructions to help!
A fun way to give points to a class, group or individual. When they complete a classroom task, they choose a door which either has a 'bag of money' with plus points, or has a ghost with minus points.
A starter activity to get a new class or group talking. Give each child a ‘bingo sheet’ - they walk around the classroom asking other children if they can ‘sign’ one of the boxes.
The classic game of pairs - One click on the number tile reveals the picture, a second click hides the picture.
The first file is a Disney friends version - the aim is to pair together the friendships (e.g: Piglet & Pooh / Woody & Buzz / Batman & Robin). The second is a lego version - match the same minifigures. Both files have three reshuffled 'games' ready to go.
Please note: If you want to make more: Move the picture and the number tile together - then just retype the number. If you move just the picture then the animation triggers won't function properly.
A twist on the classic game of pairs.
Watch the 12 tiles animate in and out in odd pairs. Once the full animation has finished, how many pairs can the children correctly remember.
Children can pick one of four cars to 'back'. The cars then race across the screen and come first, second or third. This can be used as a quick and fun way to pick which group or child 'goes first', or perhaps as a quick starter to refocus children.
Children choose one of three snails to race. Click go and watch them slide to the finish line and finish in first, second or third place.
Note: The font I used was ‘Avenir’, if you don’t own that font the text may move slightly. If needed you can change the font as normal.
The second quiz I’ve put on TES
This is another fun general knowledge quiz in PowerPoint. Consisting of 6 rounds and 3 bonus puzzles. The rounds are:
Puzzle 1: Fruit and Vegetable Wordsearch
What’s the Wheel: What does the wheel picture belong to? (6pts)
Minecraft (6pts)
Puzzle 2: Count the underwater creatures animation game. (3pts)
Space (6pts)
Paw Prints & Poo! Name the animal that these ‘belong’ to (6pts)
Cake (6pts)
Disney (6pts)
Puzzle 3: Animation Spot the Difference
Watch and remember the 20 objects scrolling across the screen on an animated conveyor belt. Afterwards children write down as many objects as they can remember, or alternatively the teacher could ask each child in turn to list one.
There are two slides with two versions of this game. If you’d like to create a third, simply right click on each image and select ‘Change picture’.
The 'pack' includes four PowerPoint presentations:
Two of them are full screen timers - either 30 seconds OR 5 minutes. The other two are corner timers - again either 30 seconds OR 5 minutes.
The 5 minute timers: The circles containing 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 minutes don't count seconds, instead they will slowly rotate for 1 minute. When the time is down to 30 seconds it will spin each second.
The 30 second timers exit spin, one per second.
The timer has a transparent surround, meaning that the orange background can safely be changed to any colour or any lesson.
