We all know and love the ITV game show, The Chase, and now you can bring this into the classroom to support your efforts in teaching information retrieval in comprehensions.
Formatted to look like the original show, this pack comes with six comprehension extracts, a PowerPoint containing multiple choice questions and individual ‘chase’ boards (to determine the prizes).
The Comprehension texts provided:
Little House in the Big Woods
Goodnight, Mr Tom
Stig of the Dump
The Secret Garden
The Borrowers
Tuck Everlasting
This is a hugely popular activity that children often request. Best suited to teaching SATs, Independent 11+ or to support children in their transition into Year 7.
Quizmaster is a really useful tool that has historically been used to support children who find English challenging in Years 7 and 8 but has also been used to provide a fun revision activity for Years 5 and 6.
Included in the pack:
Game Cards - print double sided, trim the cards to size, stick the sheets together and laminate. Once done, you’ll have a resource that you can use year after year. The question categories are: Spelling, Punctuation and Technique.
Game Board - An A3 Quizmaster Game Board. Again, laminate and use it year after year.
