This Mother’s Day activity for KS3 and KS4 is a great seasonal starter or exit ticket. Learn about six different traditions whilst also correcting errors in spelling, punctuation and grammar. Answer key included. See the video preview for a fuller demonstration! 13 slides, six tasks, and 18 errors that can be used as a full lesson or shorter tasks. The slideshow is also accompanied by printable US letter and UK A4 size worksheet versions, and US and UK spellings.

Encourage your students to write persuasively with this Earth Day themed task. The writing task asks students to consider whether schools should have an ‘environmental hour’ every day or not, and to express their viewpoint in the form of a speech, letter or essay. The bingo grids feature 25 prompts; from details to consider to techniques to include. Prep some rewards for full rows and columns, and let your students aim for a Full House! The shopping lists feature the same 25 prompts reformatted, with space for your class to check them off as they use them. I have also included a printable themed sheet of writing paper for extra festivity. Both the bingo grid and the shopping list come in US and UK sizes, and with dyslexia-friendly font versions.

Enjoy using these differentiated figurative language worksheets as a starter, main, fast finisher or homework task. Use the Earth Day theme to build your students’ understanding of alliteration, similes, personification, onomatopoeia, hyperbole and sensory language. Some sheets provide prompts at every level, whilst others are more open for inspiration or challenge. The three sheets at each level can be used together or separately. I have also provided simple colour-free versions of every sheet: that’s 8 activities altogether!
