This is a quiz with many rounds and varieties of questions including:
*True or False - Inventions from China
*Food
*Movie titles translated from Chinese
*Trivia
plus many other questions about the history, culture, geography and other contextual, interesting facts about China.
The quiz starts with multiple choice questions before moving on to more challenging questions that tend to be more fun based than informative. This is so that all students are able to participate and maintain interest until the end.
Many questions have additional information attached to explain and provide further reference points.
This would be ideal as an introduction to China, as a starter for a lesson or for a fun lesson at the end of term or form activity.
Any and all feedback, positive or developmental is greatly appreciated.
This powerpoint presentation is designed to be an introduction to the subject of wellbeing but can also be used as a tutor time activity to help students improve their well-being individually and collectively.
There are individual tasks, group discussions and collaborative learning tasks.
Any and all feedback is appreciated.
I’ve designed this as an ongoing resource to be returned to every regularly for the duration of the World Cup tournament.
It comes with a powerpoint that has all the participating teams on it. If you play the powerpoint then the images will quickly change. Press “S” and the slideshow will stop on a team. Press “S” again to re-start the slideshow. Using this method, each child can randomly select a team to follow. This team will also feature in their booklet as a research project.
The booklet starts with a page about the hosts of the tournament, Russia. It’s a research activity and so access to computers or books is helpful.
Next we look at the geography of Russia and the location of the stadiums. There are two sheets here which look identical but are not. One is aimed at a higher level than the other and this is distinguished by the World Cup icon in the top right. All future differentiated sheets for the higher ability have this icon.
Then we have the history of the tournament and again a differentiated version for lower ability students.
Following is a picture quiz where students have to name the winners of the previous tournaments.
Next is a research project where students are asked to design a poster for their previously selected team. There is a differentiated version for lower ability students with a number of prompt questions to help with research.
The next sheets each relate to the England football team. The tasks are to create a song/rap or chant, to design their football kit.
Next is an art project looking at the work of Wassily Kandinsky, a famous Russian artist with a particularly bright and vivid style. Students are asked to reproduce his work and this can be extended to adapt a football picture into his style of work and a blank canvas for the truly creative.
There then follows a focus on five famous players with an attached fact file and a drawing to colour in. Once this is completed there is a blank fact file for students to pick their favourite player and complete accordingly.
Next comes an English language task where students are asked to conduct a post-match interview with a player of their choice.
Finally there is a puzzle page with riddles and a word-search. The answers are on the final sheet.
There are a number of ways in which you can run this project:
You could compile the workbooks beforehand and hand them out so that they are differentiated to each class members ability.
You could hand out each page individually and then compile them at the end.
My ideal would be that everyone gets a different sheet so that everyone is doing a different task within the same time frame and then they are compiled at the end.
Any feedback, positive or negative, is greatly appreciated.
5 rounds of festive fun to deal with those times when the curriculum dictates your class must do something festive!
Round 1 - Multiple Choice
Round 2 - Christmas Movies. Students are presented with the titles of classic Christmas movies but without the vowels in. Harder than it sounds.
Round 3 - Presents.
Round 4 - Celebrity Santa
Round 5 - Trivia
Guaranteed that there are questions here whose answers will fascinate and amuse in equal measure.
Any and all feedback gratefully appreciated. Merry Christmas!
6 rounds of 39 questions all about the past season and the history of the EPL.
Questions vary from multiple choice, match ups and straight forward questions.
No matter how knowledgeable your students are, they'll be challenged and even if they have no interest in sport whatsoever, they'll still be able to participate fully and enjoy the quiz.
This is ideal for the start of the new school year.
Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated, positive or developmental.
This lesson utilises the Toronto Wolfpack rugby league team as it's source material in it's unique position as the first transatlantic sports team.
After first highlighting the fact that all of the teams in the Kingstone Press League 1 are Welsh or English, students are asked to guess the location of the league leaders which is of course, Toronto.
Following there is a brief fact file about the Wolfpack and then a think, pair, share task looking at the positives and negatives of having a team based in Canada, play in Britain.
Students are then challenged to tackle one of three tasks, looking at either logistics management, grass roots or marketing, all of which are directly related to the Wolfpack.
This allows for differentiation as students can pick their challenge or have the teacher select one for them in order to push students.
Finally we have question time. All students should attempt EITHER the normal OR the level-up before attempting the killer question. The normal question is aimed at lower ability students, again allowing for differentiation.
The killer question is related to another sport entirely in order to encourage students to transfer their knowledge to another area.
Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated, positive or developmental.

33 question quiz in a variety of formats (multiple choice, true or false etc.) all associated with St. George. Questions about the actual historical figure and his legend as well as associated topics, including flags and dragons.
Any and all feedback is gratefully received, positive or developmental.
This has been created to allow students to understand the celebration that is the Rugby League World Cup and hopefully foster an interest in a minority sport at a time of year when there is not an awful lot happening in the world of sport.
I've created this so that all students using it can come complete a workbook that is different from everyone else's but also differentiated to their needs. For example, there are three sheets on Legends, each one has a different task that is aimed at different levels of ability.
Students should/could choose or be given a team to follow and have as their nominated team and spark some extra interest in the tournament.
Pages are interchangeable so that fast workers can readily move onto the next page whereas slower workers can sheets that they may access more readily.
Activities include:
*Research activities on the host nations and history of the tournament.
*Creating your own opening ceremony.
*Matching key terms to their definitions.
*Researching nominated team.
*Focus on legendary players.
*And more
This resource can easily be adapted for the other home nations.
Any and all feedback, positive or developmental, is greatly appreciated.
A number of items to help with revision for this years GCSE PE exam including a test and mark scheme using exam questions from past papers with direct reference to the pre-release scenario on James.
Whole bundle sells individually for £9, the bundle is a fiver. Saving yourself some pennies and HOURS of time.
Good luck with those results.
Question sheets 1-7 are best printed out on A3. I always kept a few of these in my classroom as extension tasks or homework. They are designed to encourage students to plan an answer before writing.
Q1: Other subjects relevance to PE
Q2: Qualities of a successful first aider
Q3: Funding an athlete
Q4: Unsuitable sponsorship
Q5: Effects of fatigue
Q6: How exercise affects the c/v system
Q7: How correct technique prevents injury
Quiz, quiz, trade is a starter and plenary activity where every student has a slip of paper with a questions and its answer on it. They go around the room and ask someone their question. Once they have answered it, the correct answer is given. Then they swap roles. Once the second question has been answered, they trade questions and find someone new. This can continue as long as you wish but allows for lots of people to ask and be asked questions.
The plenary at the end is simply the teacher asking the questions again. Everyone should be able to provide an answer! I like to have the class all stand up, they can sit down when they've answered a question correctly.
The revision loop is a series of answers with an unrelated question on the bottom. Each student gets one of these slips and has to use their answer to answer someone else's question.
Next, two Tarsia jigsaw puzzles. Simply cut out and muddle up and then re-arrange. Lots of ambiguity to promote discussion and problem solving.
These resources will save hours of prep. and can be used repeatedly as part of your revision.
Any feedback, positive or developmental, is greatly appreciated.
This years pre-release material for the 2017 AQA GCSE PE exam is about a year 10 student called James.
I'm providing 11 questions on a sheet ready for immediate use as a test or exam. Each answer is worth between 2 and 8 marks. Each answer requires a structured, written answer.
Depending on the ability of the students, the test should last about 55 minutes. For those who finish early, they can mark each others papers with the comprehensive Mark Scheme provided.
Both exam and mark scheme can be retained for future revision work.
When your school chooses to celebrate books and their impact on the world, it can mean that you’re left with a class that needs an activity. This is that activity.
There are 8 rounds, comprising a total of 65 questions. Students can work individually or in groups. Answers are revealed straight after the question has been answered or at the end of the round so that students get immediate satisfaction.
Round 1: Famous First Lines. What books are these the first lines to?
Round 2: Celebrity Authors. Match the author to their book.
Round 3: Missing Words. What are the words that missing from these titles?
Round 4: Book Trivia. Multiple choice questions about books in general and their authors.
Round 5: First Appearances. Match the character to the book that they first appeared in.
Round 6: Banned Books. True or False round based on books that have been banned around the globe.
Round 7: Famous book covers. Name the book from the cover.
Round 7: Connections. What connects the book titles on display?
To make this as accessible as possible, the majority of books are famous childrens’ books with some classics thrown in for more advanced readers.
Also included are 4 word searches on Harry Potter, Chronicles of Narnia, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and classic novels. There are 2 copies of each to allow for differentiation with one having the clues printed on and the other without.
Any feedback, good or bad, is gratefully received.
I created this resource for my form a few years ago for a bit of fun and it turned into quite an event. I've added to it by creating a true or false quiz for a bit of fun and context to give the students some ideas.
As well as being a bit of a lark, it actually gives students an opportunity to get creative, to do some research and to spread the word about the plight of one of our most entertaining but also threatened animals.
All feedback is gratefully received, whether positive or developmental.
Thanks.
This resource is ready for immediate use and is aimed at GCSE PE students, however it would also be useful in a variety of other subjects. It has the Tour de France as it's main focus, utilising imagery, video and examples to help students understand the importance of sponsorship within sport.
The powerpoint prompts debate and asks questions of the class for students to answer both verbally and in their books.
Access to the internet will be needed as there are youtube clips to link to.
Also included is a worksheet for less able students to complete instead of writing notes and copying out. This allows for differentiation as they will get all the correct information down whilst also doing the work required of them.
Any feedback, positive or developmental is greatly appreciated.
