This is the antidote to the SATs. Questions for children to answer in the way that they want to answer them. They cannot be wrong because all the questions ask for their own opinions. This is an opportunity to focus on the individual child, reminding them that their thoughts and views count and that we are truly interested in them.
Questions ask them about their favourite things, their activities and their views on school and life in general.
..... and what is even better - there is no marking needed. Simply read their answers and have a chat about them. Even if you don't fancy using this resource, let's not forget that school and education can be fun, can be stress free and is about nurturing unique individuals, not mass producing little learning robots.

Perhaps the chosen student can then say hi to the class, or answer a question about their holiday?
Fun spinning animation and an exciting wallpaper make this a captivating way of choosing students for tasks or to answer questions at any time of the year, but it is definitely useful at the start of the new school year when everyone is getting to know each other.

A handy, fun way of choosing students to answer questions. Enter the student names and then simply click on the name chooser screen which will generate a random name. It can be projected onto the whiteboard to build up the anticipation!
