Many children and adults suffer from stress and anxiety at times. Going back to school is one of those stressful times. An over busy brain makes it difficult to concentrate on tasks and the feelings associated with anxiety can cause distress and further anxiety. Recent research suggests that activities which focus the mind without being overly taxing can help break the cycle of worry and anxiety and can help calm the busy mind. One such activity is coloring. This resource provides 40 original kaleidoscopic images. The repetitive nature of the patterns is intentional, encouraging the individual to settle into a calming routine. Drawings range in complexity, making it a suitable resource for all age groups, including adults. I hope that enjoyment and a sense of calm can be found by using this resource.

Get to know your new students with some question and answer sessions. This resource allows you to simply type in the names of your students on the slides provided. Then start the slideshow. It will begin with a "Name Chooser" page. All you have to do is click anywhere on the blue circle and it will take you to a random name slide. Perhaps the chosen student can then say hi to the class, or answer a question about their holiday? Fun spinning animation and an exciting wallpaper make this a captivating way of choosing students for tasks or to answer questions at any time of the year, but it is definitely useful at the start of the new school year when everyone is getting to know each other. This resource is also provided in a fully editable format so that it can be modified for a wide range of other purposes. I use this in my own school and the students love the random nature of the selection.
