The Shoe Challenge - Warmer for Physical Education lesson or Sports day

(1)
A fun PE warmer using shoes and including everyone! This warmer activity is widely used in summer camps across Europe but after covering PE lessons in normal primary and secondary it works very well as a whole group activity whereby everyone can take part. This activity is also useful for a warmer to any Physical Education lesson, every student can take part. It is also very good to use in sports day, students can all take part in an atmosphere where there are mixed abilities, for example it could be used with year groups and form classes and form tutors can take part too. With regards to differentiation the teams will be mixed up into different abilities so stronger learners from separate teams will aid weaker learners; the groups are all mixed ability. It allows learners to achieve the outcome of taking part in outdoor and adventurous activity challenging both individually and within a team and also to compare their performances with previous ones and demonstrate improvement.

This activity can be used as a basic literacy task for ESL learners or key stage 2-4. The students have to correct the text, if time allows the teacher can get the students to create a vlog with the information. If teacher has resources and extra time this can work as a great extra curricular project with food technology, drama, media studies, ICT and health sciences. The teacher can bring in the food and students can use it as a prop to make vlog. Students love this because nowadys many aspire to be you tubers. It meets literacy, communication, and citizenship objectives.

Reward Chart + Oscars to laminate for class motivation and rewards! Awesome tool for English/Drama

(0)
For any English activity or drama activity, for example after debates, presentations, group work, and poster activities I award my learners with an Oscar. I use three categories each month and one group Oscar prize, one individual prize and another individual prize(for progress). So every student has a chance to win an award each month. The students get so excited at the Oscar concept, as it is something they know and can relate to. Instructions Photocopy the Oscars and laminate them, you can use the chart across the whole year if you just edit the dates on the document, the one here starts from Sept to Dec, simply enlarge the chart or decrease the Oscars so they fit in the chart. At the end of the month the learners of the categories will get a prize. A movie, sweets or whatever your school policy is usually motivates the students. Hang it on your classroom wall, it will get the students excited! Something visual that is always there is a great motivating tool.
