Electricity: I Have, Who Has? Game Cards Activity

(0)
Get every student in you class fully engaged with this fun card game. This ‘I Have, Who Has?’ game is a fantastic way to review the key terms and symbols for your electricity unit. I have used it very successfully as a quick starter activity to refresh their minds! This pack includes 28 game cards so should be plenty for a whole class, however children can double up or have two cards depending on your class size. Vocabulary Included: - conductor - circuit - insulator - symbol - electricity - component - voltage - amps - battery - wire - switch - series circuit - parallel circuit - circuit diagram - fuse - voltmeter - current Symbols Included: - bulb - open switch - battery - wire - motor - buzzer - closed switch - voltmeter - resistor - fuse - ammeter How to play: Distribute the cards to your students. Some students may get more than one card. Select a student to begin by reading their card aloud. (example: I have the bulb symbol. Who has who has the symbol for a buzzer?) The student who has the card with the correct answer to the previous student’s “Who Has...” question reads their card aloud. And so on. Students must listen for their turn and try not to break the chain. When the chain circles around to the first student, the game is over. If playing individually or in small groups, these cards can also be used as dominoes.

This Science (Keeping Healthy) QR code activity is perfect for introducing the topic of ‘Keeping Healthy’ or as a friendly reminder about how to live a healthy lifestyle.

Hide the QR codes around your outdoor area and then give the children the answer sheet and the I-pads. They must go around, find the answers, and complete the answer sheet. If you are using the QR codes, you will need a QR scanner, which you can download free from the app store. Alternatively you can print the cards two sided (with the answers on the back) if you do not have the technology available. I find it works really well if you get the children to do the QR quiz, and then a week later give them the same questions to see what they have remembered.

Once they have completed the sheet, give each group (of 3 or 4) some string / rope and scissors and ask them to go find two trees or posts that are close to each other.
