For every correct answer the teams take a random card from the pack which have fun instructions on such as: collect x number of points, steal a player from the other team, launch a lightening round, get another go when you get an answer wrong, and steal half of the other team’s points. The team with the most points at the end wins! The cards are designed to be cut out and laminated together, making them double-sided and more durable.

Homework menu (with differentiated options for students to choose between), homework tracker and peer feedback grid, and a list of some ideas for KS3 History homework. (All based on ideas I have picked up from different schools, teachers and resources I have seen). The homework menu is intended to be used for one project and has slots for challenging, hard, medium and simple tasks (named Food Mountain - challenging, Hearty Helping - hard, Light Bite - medium, and Snack - simple). The instructions for how many of each level should be attempted throughout the project are explained on the homework tracker. There is also a grid which students can use to jot down deadlines for each part of the project (there are three part to each project - the starter, main and dessert). The peer feedback grid allows students to praise and evaluate their peer’s work and for the student to respond to this feedback.
