Getting towards the end of the week, term, semester, year and needing a fun education filler to fill the time or calm the class? Use this Cookin’ Food card game to have students compete against each other in groups of 4-8 players.

There’s even extra blank menu cards to add local or loved recipes into the game as well as blank ingredient cards to ensure students have the opportunity to draw ingredients from the added in recipes.

Textiles Think-Tac-Toe

This Think-Tac-Toe game board provides three different levels of tasks for students to work through. Green tasks are labelled easy, orange tasks are moderate and red tasks are more in-depth and difficult. Students need to choose three tasks to make a tic-tac-toe row. The way the tasks are structured on the game board means students are unable to choose three easy tasks, they must select a range. Tasks include making a textiles related find-a-word to writing a fictional story around the ‘fibre to fabric’ theme to comparing and contrasting WW1 style clothing repair and mending. Scaffolds for all activities are included and can be allocated to students once they decide which tasks they want to work through. A perfect activity for a sequence of lessons left with a casual or relief teacher or for fun non-practical related lessons once the practical projects have been completed.
