After teaching 11 - 13 year old students for 7 years, I decided to stay at home when my second child was born. I used my Remedial qualification to assist those who struggled with Math and English to give them the extra boost. I believe in creating a love for learning in students by making it fun and interactive.

This product focuses on Degrees of Comparison.
This board game can be used as a center activity to practice Degrees of Comparison.
30 question cards have been included with a game board and instructions. These cards are presented with or without QR codes. A memorandum has been included for when ‘without QR codes’ version is used.
Should you wish to use these cards as task cards instead of as a board game, an answer sheet has also been included.
QR codes are a lot of fun and create a self-assessing tool. Download a free QR code reader from your app store onto a handheld device. Students then hover the device over the code to reveal the answer to the question. This offers immediate feedback and self correction.

Degrees of Comparison Bingo is a fun and interactive way to practice Degrees of Comparison.
30 Bingo game boards have been included to offer this activity as a whole-class activity. It can, however, also be played in smaller groups as a center activity.
Laminate the game boards for reuse. Students each get a board and use a white board marker or counters to cover the spaces which are called out.
Thirty ‘question cards’ have been included. These questions are presented in two ways, namely:
“What is the comparative/superlative version of the following adjective…?”
Or
“Fill the correct version of the adjective in the given sentence: My mom is (cheerful) than my dad.”
A memorandum has also been included to check question card answers if it is needed.
This could also mean that the question cards can be used as task cards for further revision.

“I Have... ‘Who Has?” is an interactive activity which includes the whole class. Each student gets a card. Hand all 32 cards out which may mean that some students get two cards. This will ensure that the full loop can be completed.
Choose a student to start (I often start the loop to set the example). The person to start, reads their “Who Has?” sentence. The rest of the students listen to the sentence and the required tense. They then check their “I Have” sentences for the correct answer. Once they read their answer out and it is determined to be the correct answer, they then read their “Who Has?” sentence. And so the loop continues.
For example:
First person reads: “Who Has - Tom had liked football. In Perfect Present?”
Person with the answer reads: “ I have – Tom has liked football.” “Who Has ...”

have compiled this Prepositions board game as a reinforcement activity for my class.
The Question cards are made up of three different types of questions where learners need to...
use a preposition
identify a preposition
supply a preposition
There are also some cards which ask learners to differentiate between a preposition and an adverb.
I have included 5 different coloured boards with matching instructions and question card backs. (Photostatting black and white questions onto the colour backs will prevent cards from getting mixed up.) There is also a black and white version of everything.
Should you have any queries or suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact me at margauxlangenhoven@gmail.com
I trust your children will enjoy this reinforcement activity.

This set of Direct Speech task cards aims to provide an opportunity for students to improve their understanding and ability to apply the direct speech rules.
I have used images of iPhones with text messages which students need to convert into Direct Speech. The content of the text messages includes silly jokes. Together, the text messages and jokes, should make learning meaningful (text messages are part of everyday life) and fun.
This set contains 24 different task cards. These cards are offered with and without QR codes. When scanned, the QR code reveals the memorandum, making the task cards self-correcting. For classes that do not have access to the needed technology, a set without QR codes and a memorandum has also been provided.
In order to scan a QR code, students would need to download a free QR code scanner app. They then hover the scanner over the code and the answer is then revealed on their screen. Should you have any queries or suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact me at margauxlangenhoven@gmail.com.
I trust your students will benefit from this activity.

Simple Tense Game
This ‘Tense Quest’ board game is the perfect activity to review or practice Simple Tenses. Students will have fun moving around the playing board and answering the question cards by converting sentences into required tenses.
Two versions of this game have been included; one where ‘will ‘is used with the subject in the future tense and one where ‘will’ and ‘shall’ have been used in the future tense depending on the subject used (I shall, we shall everyone else will).
This game acts as a good listening and memory recall activity as well. It requires one of the other game members to read the sentence to the player in order for them to convert it. Students then practice listening for all the information, remembering it and then recalling it once they have converted it.
This game is offered with and without QR codes. QR codes add an extra dimension to the game as it incorporates technology, which students are so familiar with. Students can download a free QR Code Reader onto their phones or hand held devices and then use it to scan the codes to reveal the answers. Only one device is needed per group. The version without accommodates those classes without access to handheld device.
