This is an interactive resource that can be used either as a register or a pupil selector. IT COMES COMPLETE WITH MUSIC.
We have included ten class slides for those teachers with a number of different classes on their timetable. Each class contains 34 apples with editable text for you to enter the pupil’s names. You can easily delete apples or add more by copying and pasting onto the slide. These slides can also be copied into any of your own existing presentations.
Pupil Picker: This can be used when you want to be in control of who is answering the questions. Once a pupil has been chosen, click on the apple with their name on it and it will fall to the ground ensuring that they will not be chosen again. Alternatively, this is great fun when you are playing ‘pupil choice’ and allowing pupils to select the next person to be in the spotlight.
Lesson Register: This is a fun alternative to calling the register! We have used it effectively as a register on the interactive whiteboard whereby pupils enter the class and tap their name. When they click on it, the apple (with their name on) falls to the ground. you are left with the absentees on the board.
