A comprehension activity to help children read and understand the Bible story of the crucifixion from Mark chapter 15. Read the story on page one, then answer a handful of quick questions into a crossword on page two.
An outline for a whole school assembly for Primary school - Collective Worship. One I did for the first week of advent, but can be easily adapted for any week in December. Using the Bible passage Isaiah 9 (God's Son, The prince of peace, The king).
A quick game to use in a variety of ways in the classroom to make a lesson fun! Many sheep will jump over the fence, kids count them and see who's answer was correct. They will jump in an irregular pattern - sometimes in groups or sometimes on their own.
You can copy and paste the slides and make your own, I've written step by step instructions to help!
Spin the top circle to reveal different words ending in ‘ng’ (king/fang/bang/song/wing/ping/ring/sing)
How to make:
Print both pages and cut out the two circles.
Cut the dotted shape in the top circle.
Put a split pin through both circles.
Note: I’ll be making other word wheels in the next few weeks!
Pick one of the three cars. Then click once to animate: the countdown, the race and the finishing medal reveal.
Can be used for a variety of classroom activities. I’ve used it as a plenary to finish a lesson with - answer a question, if it’s the correct answer then the child can pick a car. The three kids then race - bonus point for coming first.
Create your own keyword guessing game. Kids pick a letter, click it on the screen and any matches will appear in your chosen key phrase. (It is similar to hangman, but there is no hanging-man or consequences for a wrong guess - sadly PowerPoint can't do that!)
Zoom out of the slide to see full instructions on how to create your own game.
Please note: Depending on your version of PPT the font may change slightly - but you can easily draw a selection box around everything and change the font if needed.
A fun Christmas Quiz consisting of 6 rounds with 40 questions in total. The six rounds are: Christmas movies (8 questions), Christmas anagrams (6), Celebrity pictures with Santa disguises (8), Christmas music (5), Christmas chocolate (6), and a Memory picture round (7). It's a slight alternative to the 'pub-quiz' or multiple choice style.
The 'pack' consists of: A well designed PowerPoint presentation (in 2 halves due to file size), a blank question sheet, and a filled in answer sheet.
The classic game of pairs - One click on the number tile reveals the picture, a second click hides the picture.
The first file is a Disney friends version - the aim is to pair together the friendships (e.g: Piglet & Pooh / Woody & Buzz / Batman & Robin). The second is a lego version - match the same minifigures. Both files have three reshuffled 'games' ready to go.
Please note: If you want to make more: Move the picture and the number tile together - then just retype the number. If you move just the picture then the animation triggers won't function properly.
Kids match together the picture and letters to complete the 3 piece puzzle. There are 10 different CVC picture puzzles. Print the pdf, cut out the paper strips.
(I have uploaded other CVC games & activities)
Children can pick one of four cars to 'back'. The cars then race across the screen and come first, second or third. This can be used as a quick and fun way to pick which group or child 'goes first', or perhaps as a quick starter to refocus children.
The 'pack' includes four PowerPoint presentations:
Two of them are full screen timers - either 30 seconds OR 5 minutes. The other two are corner timers - again either 30 seconds OR 5 minutes.
The 5 minute timers: The circles containing 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 minutes don't count seconds, instead they will slowly rotate for 1 minute. When the time is down to 30 seconds it will spin each second.
The 30 second timers exit spin, one per second.
The timer has a transparent surround, meaning that the orange background can safely be changed to any colour or any lesson.

An activity to help with ordering from 0-10 or 0-20. Simply cut out all the pieces and encourage children to rearrange the sections to make a rocket.
There are two zip files:
The first contains an A4 and an A3 copy of the rocket to cut out (as on the cover image).
The second contains an A4 and A3 copy of the rocket made - to print out and display.
This 'pack' contains 3 ZIP files:
One full set of colour coded CVC domino 'tiles' (35 A6 files).
One full set of black and white CVC domino 'tiles' (22 A6 files).
One PDF with all 35 colour domino tiles ready to print.
The coloured tiles are colour coded to make a suggested 28 combinations. The black and white variant makes the game harder - children can choose to make any combination of their choosing - so I suggest printing more than one set.
Heres a fun end of term Christmas Quiz!
8 Rounds: Christmas movies (pictures), Cracker jokes, Christmas Carols, ‘What’s in the stocking?’ Memory game, The Christmas Story, Disguised Celebs (pictures), Anagrams, Christmas Food logos.
There are two PowerPoint files - 1. The full quiz. 2. Quiz with answers.
And two pdfs - 1. An answer sheet. 2.A filled in answer sheet.
There are 15 quiz pictures for children to find: 5x Easter Story words, 5x Joke punchlines, 5x Hidden characters.
Kids have an quiz answer sheet, they look for the bunnys (with punchlines on their backs), and for the purple eggs (with hidden characters on the backs), and for yellow chicks (with Easter story words on the back).
Each image is A3. Print the bunny/chick/egg on one side, and then the quiz answer on the other. There is also an A4 answer sheet, and an A3 description poster.
A twist on the classic game of pairs.
Watch the 12 tiles animate in and out in odd pairs. Once the full animation has finished, how many pairs can the children correctly remember.
This is a set of 15 Easter signs to hunt for: 5 Famous faces (Ant & Dec / Usain Bolt / Elsa / The Queen / Iron Man), 5 Easter puns, & 5 answers to Easter Questions. Also included is an answer sheet. The signs are all on separate A4 PDFs - each picture in the middle of the sheet is above A5 size.
I suggest printing all 15, laminating them (weather proof), then attaching a stick to the back (I used plant labels) so they can be stuck into the ground. To give it a bit more weight I also stuck some card from a recycled box to the reverse.
I used this as part of an Easter Egg hunt for KS1 & KS2.
Included in the files is a photograph of all 15 pictures so you can preview the whole set before purchasing (I laminated mine so a couple have light reflecting off them)!
Enjoy! :)
