Psychology wall display or open evening - Fact of the Week
Psymarie8Psymarie8

Psychology wall display or open evening - Fact of the Week

(0)
A whole series of over 85 psychology strange “facts” to cut up into individual cards. I made a “psychology fact of the week” board and then changed these week by week. I laminated them all individually and chopped them up. Then put a dollop of blue tack on the weird fact board and just rotated the facts. Could also be used at an open evening as a display board as well to stimuate discussion about the subject. Could be used as a fact or fiction activity for the first introductory lesson too if you wanted to. NOTE: I believe them all to be facts, but some have come from google so you never know!
