These are a series of dingbats that I have created as engaging starter activities. They work really well as a short punchy starter that students answer on whiteboards before the 4 minute song finishes that students hear as they walk in (e.g. Bon Jovi, Olly Murs).

Students could post it note their answers with their names and stick them on the whiteboard next to the image. Please leave feedback.
