Follows on from SPaG activity and activity 2. The aim of the game is to make a sentence (or two) that gets you across the board. There are two teams / players against each other, who will be first to complete the journey from A to B.
each player takes it in turn to pick a card from the pile to see the next word they should play ( verb, noun, punctuation etc.) if they cannot play the card they miss a turn. You can simplify the game by the types of cards you put in the pile,depending on the groups ability you have.
Good luck.
If you download this and get some really good sentences I would appreciate a picture or explanation of the board on the feedback section. Thank you
SPaG activity 9
looking at the active and passive voice.
Rules
Both teams start at the starting point on the plank. The Pirate King / Queen acts as plank master and asks the questions.
They then take it in turns to roll the dice. They then decide if they wish to move their counter towards safety or move the oppositions counter towards danger and the edge.
To move towards safety they must turn an active sentence passive.
To move the opposite player towards danger they must turn a passive sentence active.
The Pirate King / Queen asks the question.
If you get the sentence wrong you do not move and it becomes the oppositions turn.
Good luck and avoid walking the plank.
An Assembly looking at the daffodil. it starts with the famous poem by William Woodsworth and a little background information. it then moves onto some interesting information about the daff from its cultural references and some mythological background. it finishes with a suggestion for pupils to get their parents some daffs to cheer them up and Vivaldi and his spring work.
hopefully will make a fun and cheerful spring assembly

A one off English lesson plan where the class use their imagination to think of an artefact from the past that has imbued with magical abilities and then write a story about it and how they would use it today.
Activity 6 is based around comma golf. the par for the hole is based around the number of commas in the opening section of a piece of literature (it goes from Cats in a Manger to A Tale of two Cities).
In the fist nine holes the pupils get given the par score and add the commas as they see fit.
the back nine they must add the commas and hence decide the par score. Will they complete the course on par?
Activity seven - welcome to the chase.
Inference
Inference is a major part of English testing.
Using the game show you have a chaser and contestant / s to see how you answer the questions.
Here in small groups you use a small paragraph or image of information to answer an A B or C question which has the correct inference from the multiple answers. Can you get home before the chaser catches you?
There are two blank options if you wish to add your class examples.
two different poem ideas for being alone one being lonely and one not so. Designed for ideas and imagination for the pupils to develop on and create their own.
can also be used for assembly ideas and discussion.
