Answer keys included. Please check the individual resource pages and previews to see if these provide an appropriate range of challenge for your students.
PUZZLES WORKSHEETS
An engaging alternative to standard worksheets, these puzzles can be completed individually or in pairs or groups. Similar to codebreaker puzzles, a maths-related word is revealed after completing the work. Each puzzle contains a grid. Within each box is a fraction / calculation and a letter. Students circle any boxes containing incorrect answers or errors such as non-equivalent fractions (depending on which puzzle it is). Then they assemble letters from the circled boxes to reveal a maths word. There’s a further question / task at the bottom of the page linked to the word.
Students often forget or avoid checking their work for errors so it’s great to get them carefully checking in these puzzles. Spotting errors may help them remember to check their own work and help them avoid common errors themselves.
FOUR IN A ROW
Print and laminate the boards for regular use. It was designed in A3 to work especially well with larger groups but you can scale down to print in A4 if required or preferred. There are 6 game boards, two for each level of challenge, indicated with a star system, with one star being the least challenging. The one-star version includes only unit fractions of small numbers. The two-star version includes fractions of larger two-digit numbers, while the three-star version progresses to fractions of three and four-digit numbers.
Students work strategically as pairs against pairs or one against one to get four correct answers in a row - horizontally, vertically or diagonally. They roll a dice each time to decide from which column to pick a calculation (the columns are numbered 1-6). Students write their answers on the board with a dry-wipe marker.
TREASURE HUNT / ACTIVE CARD GAME
This can be played multiple times as groups can use different card sets each time. Teams complete a treasure hunt-type chain of fractions calculations, followed by a ‘Find the Target Number’ mental maths challenge, using a mixture of the four operations. There are 54 double-sided cards, forming sets of 6 cards for 9 teams. A key feature is the chance to involve lower ability students in a fun whole class activity to give them a boost of confidence without it being obvious their calculations are less challenging (3 of the sets are at an easier level). Full instructions included.
You can print and laminate the cards in batches of 3 sets, so if you don’t require them all, you needn’t print them. The cards should be printed double-sided (they’ve been laid out to facilitate this). I print by selecting the ‘2-Sided Short Edge (Top)’ option. However, if you can only print one-sided, print all the even-numbered pages, replace the paper, and print the odd-numbered pages on the back.

10 KS2 Year 4, Year 5 or Year 6 spelling games to make learning about homophones and near homophones fun. This could be used as a home learning activity, with a child aiming to reach a target of correct answers in a given time. These ‘splat’ SPaG activities include the following words that are often muddled up and misspelled:
there / their / they’re (64 sentences included)
it’s / its (64 sentences included)
where / were / we’re / wear (64 sentences)
whether / weather (32 sentences)
knew / new (32 sentences)
your / you’re (64 sentences)
here / hear (64 sentences)
to / two / too (64 sentences)
threw / through (32 sentences)
no / know (32 sentences)
CONTENTS:
2 PDF documents (37 pages in total)
2 PowerPoint (10 slides in total)
This bundle is comprised of 2 homophone splat game packs that are also available separately:
Homophones Games 1
Homophones Games 2
The games revolve around a total of 512 sentences which model a variety of structures so that while children are learning about the spelling of commonly confused words they are also learning about how to use a range of openers, connectives, sub-clauses etc to construct interesting sentences. Many sentences are silly to further engage children!
It’s a challenge to make SPaG work active and engaging, rather than relying solely on worksheets and these homophones splat games are ideal for fun consolidation during the main part of SPaG lessons or can be used as purposeful early finisher and/or starter activities. If you print and laminate them all, children could self-select the homophones they need to practise.
It is best played in small groups, where children each take a sentence card which features 8 sentences with a homophone word in it (homophone words are printed in bold). Children take it in turns to read a sentence from their card while the others compete to splat the correct homophone flashcard (homophone flashcards are included in black and white as well as fun colour ‘explosion’ style cards so you can choose which to print). The first student to hit the correct homophone word scores a point. Students could lose a point for hitting the wrong word to stop them being tempted to guess early.
The PowerPoint includes a slide for each game and features the homophone words for splatting as a whole class version on a ‘splattable’ whiteboard, should you so wish. 3 people could compete together each round, perhaps representing 3 teams.

UPDATES AND NEW CONTENT!
More content may be added to this Mega Bundle in the future (which you can download for free if you have already purchased it), but as of April 2020, it contains 77 games (about 490 pages).
Each pack in this Mega Bundle has multiple activities in them, to take the stress out of lesson planning and to return to again and again over the years.
Some games contain differentiated versions and you can differentiate many of them further by using the printable word mats and vocabulary lists (included in many of the files) to support students who require this.
Instructions for games are included, usually in the Teacher Notes section at the back of most files but some games have separate printable game cards or have instructions printed directly on them, especially if they are a little more complicated.
Ideal for main lesson tasks, sub lessons, starters, early finishers etc.
Please note that preparation is required for most games. This is mostly laminating (if you wish to use again) and some games require cutting (jigsaw puzzles, card games etc).
If you find yourself short of time and don’t mind skipping the laminating, there are plenty of games here which you can just print and use with no preparation.
Includes the following game types:
Four in a Row
Serpents et Echelles (Snakes and Ladders)
Other board games
Active card games
Bingo / Noughts and Crosses cards

Take the stress out of planning French lessons with this Key Stage 2 or Key Stage 3 (KS2 or KS3) French MEGABUNDLE of 18 thematic PowerPoint PPT presentations (over 1500 slides) for French Basics units, plus bonus printable flash card sets to accompany many of them.

Each substantial slide show can be used over multiple lessons, introducing key vocabulary and phrases (with answers that appear at the click of a mouse) and including review activities and interactive games.
Depending on your time allocated to French, the age, ability and experience of your students, you can use as much or as little of the presentations as you want, as they all start off with the basics (introduction of key vocabulary, questions and phrases and teaching points) and then progress to more challenging work and/or connected material which is useful but less ‘core’. In each presentation there are activities / interactive games from the following selection: role-plays, translation tasks, quizzes, comprehension tasks, memory games, splat, hexagons, hangman, reveal the picture, bingo etc.

The resources in this bundle are often added to (especially with new interactive games added), so if you buy now you will be able to access any additional content, when available, at no extra charge.

Loop Game: A speaking game for groups or whole class. The 30 cards form a continuous loop.
“Comment te sens-tu?” Active Oral Game: Print and laminate the cards you want to use. 36 cards in the set.

Students reply in French, using the image on their card.
Mime Game: A team game, where students mime feelings to make their teammates guess correctly in French.
Square Jigsaw Puzzle: Students rearrange the puzzle pieces so that each French feelings phrase is placed next to the English translation. The letters on the outside edge of the big square will form a linked sentence.

15 PowerPoint Speed Tests
15 informal tests split across 3 PowerPoints, designed to be shown on the whiteboard with children recording answers on paper
One question to a slide allows students to focus for a few seconds before the next one comes up
The question slides are plain and uncluttered to minimise distractions
Run the PowerPoint presentation on a timer or click it on yourself, perhaps allowing a little longer for more challenging questions
Each test features 20 questions involving a variety of mathematical skills
At the end of each test, the same 20 slides are repeated, with the answer added clearly
Children can mark their own or a partner’s work to reduce your workload
If short of time, whizz through the answers but the idea of each answer appearing with its question like this is that it allows for important discussions about strategies
Additional PDF version included
216 Self-Check Cards
A flexible resource that can be incorporated into many mental maths games and activities within the classroom, especially oral starters
Laminate and use again and again as starter and early finisher tasks
There are 12 calculations on each A4 sheet. Leave them as 18 A4 sheets or cut each of the question cards separately to create 216 cards.
There are versions both with and without the answers printed below the questions
The with-answers versions could be used by students questioning each other
The version without the answers could be used by individuals testing themselves
Separate answer card is included, which individuals could consult
8 CrossNumber Puzzles Worksheets
A fun resource for early finisher tasks, mental starters, homework etc
Tasks for individuals, pairs or small groups
As in a crossword puzzle, children find it easier to work out some of the more challenging questions once they’ve filled in the easier ones as digits will already be there for them
Answer grids for all 8 puzzles are included and could be printed for students to self-check (or displayed later on the board), cutting down on your marking!

Or any clues not managed could be looked up online or in a French dictionary. It's fine in A4 but if you are using it with a larger group you might want to print in A3.

Making 100! This is a fun KS2 mental maths starter activity. It’s a complements to 100 Numeracy treasure hunt / scavenger hunt activity - an active printable mental maths team game, with differentiation, ideal as a whole class starter or plenary, originally designed for Year 4 and 5. It can be played multiple times in a lesson or across several lessons as groups can use different card sets each time. Teams complete a treasure hunt-type chain of number bonds to 100 calculations, followed by a ‘Find the Target Number’ mental maths challenge, using a mixture of the four operations. There are 54 double-sided cards, forming sets of 6 cards for 9 teams. A key feature is the chance to involve lower ability pupils in a fun whole class activity to give them a boost of confidence without it being obvious their calculations are less challenging (3 of the sets are at an easier level). Full instructions for teacher and students is included, along with solutions.
I have a collection of these Grab the Answers games, each one focusing on a different maths concept. You can explore my growing bundle below.
Students collaborate on a treasure hunt type maths trail and when they’ve collected all 5 answers, they are given a target, which they must make using 3 given numbers. You can print and laminate the cards in batches of 3 sets, so if you don’t require them all, you needn’t print them. The cards should be printed double-sided (they’ve been laid out to facilitate this). I print by selecting the ‘2-Sided Short Edge (Top)’ option. However, if you can only print one-sided, print all the even-numbered pages, replace the paper, and print the odd-numbered pages on the back.
Give each team their ‘Start’ card. Spread out all other cards, answer side up. You may wish to remove cards from any set not being used, although this is not necessary. On your signal, teams turn over their Start card and complete the calculation. Each team sends one person to collect the correct answer card, on the other side of which will be their next question and a letter to confirm which team it belongs to. Ensure teams immediately replace any cards not marked with their letter. The process continues until the team have answered all five calculations. On the other side of the final answer card will be a target number, which teams must make, using the numbers printed in boxes in the bottom right corner of 3 of their cards. Use all 3 numbers and only once each, using any of the 4 operations. The first to make their target number wins! One possible answer for each of the target challenges is printed on the solution cards.
