Each game required three or more players to play. Rules are the same as the original game:
7 white cards each at all times
players rotate the person who ask the question on the black card
asker chooses the winning answer
winner keeps the black card
pick up of new white cards for the players who spent a card on that round (must have 7 in hand at all times)
asker rotates
winner is the player with the most black cards (correct answers) at the end of the game :)
A classroom favourite of my pupils :) highly competitive!

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade! (Board game in the style of trivial pursuit!)
In this life-sized classroom favourite, compete against other teams to gather enough lemons to make lemonade – 6 in total! Each colour of lemon represents a different topic of Religious Studies GCSE (9-1) Philosophy and Ethics (Eduqas Specification). Topics include:
Key Words
Teachings and Quotes
History of Islam
Beliefs
Practices
Allah
Take it in turns to roll the dice and move either yourself or a space-saver around the board game. (A space saver can be anything – a small object like a highlighter pen or a rubber!) Move the number of spaces on the dice in any direction. When you land on a space, answer the same-coloured question correctly to collect the token!
When you have collected all tokens, make your way towards the centre of the board and answer the difficult ‘Making Lemonade’ question to successfully make the lemonade and win the game!
An imaginative and energising game centred around any topic of your choice! The game is ready to go - all you need to do is print!
The download comes complete with the board spaces, 25 question cards (150 questions and answers in total), instructions and tokens… all you need is a thirst for knowledge and a legendary sense of fun.
The board itself is set up in the shape of a large circle, with a cross-section, where learners can get to the middle ‘Making Lemonade’ space. You will need floor space for this! There is nothing more symbolic or exciting to learners than asking them to get rid of the tables, chairs and pens for a lesson! Please see the images for more guidance on how to set up the board.
Any hints, tips or otherwise are more than welcome, after all, that’s what the education world is about!

Homework pack - one a week for 7 weeks as park of an interleaved revision approach to reviewing previous content (Word document but PDF also included) to cover Philosophy/Themes: Religion, Peace and Conflict- ideal for independent study or revision/exam practise. 12-page booklet with a variety of activities and tasks, including exam practise.
Set the homework as suits your own classes best. I personally like to give one a week, but students (and parents) know exactly what’s expected over the coming 7 weeks. Some will, as ever, do it all in one or two sittings!
Created with the AQA RS GCSE in mind, though can be applied across specifications and qualifications. As an examiner for this specification, I have used what I know of the course to create this resource. Please give feedback!
