I am passionate about educational learning games in all year groups including A level. Learning should be fun and games in lessons stimulate the students' motivation and engagement, their creativity and their team spirit. Games encourage discussions with one another and learning from each other. I hope my resources help students to be "game to learn".

7x Games and activities to revise all of SNAB Topic 1 (Lifestyle, health and risk) of the Salters-Nuffield AS/A2 Biology Edexcel Course.
• Keyword cards (125 cards)
We use these cards for an Articulate like game (students explain as many keywords as they can in 30 sec, others guess)
• Whole topic loop game
A challenging revision activity to review keywords, images from the entire topic
63 cards per set - play in groups of 4-5, activity takes 15-25 min
• Topic 1 “Who can see it first?” Card Game
fun activity to review keywords, images from the entire topic, students need to recognise images and think of keywords quickly
31 cards with 6 symbols each, play in groups of 3-4
• Topic 1 Tarsia
24 cards with 30 descriptions/images/keywords to match up.
Print on A3 for larger triangles.
• Topic 1 Bingo
32 different Bingo cards with 9 symbols each and master call sheet
• Topic 1 Keyword Game
• Topic 1 Keyword Image Game
These games are great for drawing connections between keywords and concepts of different subtopics.
Bundle with 5x great starter / plenary or revision activities
• Carbohydrates - Card Sort on polysaccharides: amylose, amylopectin, cellulose and glycogen (structure, bonds, funcction, composition, chemical properties etc), 32 cards per set
• Carbhydrates - Loop Game on Carbohyrdate names and structures (including a glucose, beta glucose, lactose, sucrose, polysaccharides, amylose, amylopectin, cellulose, glycogen, glycosidic bond, condensation reaction etc), 30 cards per set
