Former Head of PE in secondary school in the North of England with 10+ years teaching experience.
My resources tend to be classroom based lessons for the GCSE PE course and form time resources when the register is done and everyone is staring at me expecting interesting and informative action!

Power point guides students through reviewing the previous year. Students complete 1 of 3 worksheets that asks different questions about the past year (example: Who were your best friends? What could you have done better?) Because the sheets are all different, students won't simply copy their neighbour's information.
Following that activity, students move on to looking forward to 2017 and creating resolutions in four fields: School, Home, Health and Happiness. They are requested to come up with specific steps to enable them to better achieve their resolutions. There is a sheet for them to complete accordingly.
Finally, we try and emulate this with school targets. It would be ideal if these were available but, if not, it could be set as a homework or an extension task to complete. Again, there is a sheet for students to complete if required.
The idea for this was to review the resolutions at regular periods but it would also be nice to keep them all in a folder to get out at this time next year, becoming an ongoing activity and a nice keepsake for students.
Many thanks. Any feedback, good or bad is gratefully received.
Each brainteaser has it's own slide and the answer appears on the following slide. They are all really obvious but only when you know the answer!
Ideal for keeping the form occupied or for those awkward moments when you finish a lesson early or have to do an emergency cover.
Any and all feedback gratefully received.
You can run this activity over a number of days or as one longer activity.
There are over 50 questions that need to be cut out and folded over and an answer sheet. Each student picks a question and then answers it on their sheet. The questions are all personal and are designed to reveal a little about their personal history, their thoughts and their interests.
Once complete, they return their questions and pick another.
This can be done alternatively in pairs where the first student would ask their neighbour the question and write down their response so that they are learning about their classmate. The next question has to be asked to someone else and their sheet completed thereby getting to know other people too.
This information can be used for a class display or a quiz based upon their classmates or just for fun to look at the following year.
Sample questions:
What is your favourite photo?
If you could invent anything, what would it be?
Some questions are closed questions, try and get students to expand upon a "Yes," or "No," answer.
Updated in 2017!
13 quizzes in total, perfect for a regular quiz day in form time or as a filler activity during those moments with little to occupy the kids.
Form quiz has 30 questions, 10 each on the following topics: Transport, Apples and Karate. I know, a bit random!
The punctuality quiz is an attempt to get students to understand that an excuse, no matter how good or bad, is still an excuse. There are 10 excuses that are either True or False.
Quiz 1 - 11 all consist of 10 questions and generally focus on a particular topic. These topics are as diverse as Animals, Science, Superheroes, Literature and Shoes!
All quiz questions are a mixture of multiple choice, T or F and regular questions.
They are designed to be fun and informative and should sometimes spark debate.
Feedback, good or bad, appreciated.
Thanks.
