This reflective learning handout is designed as a self- assessment tool for students prior to handing in an assignment for marking. The 1-10 scale is a simple way for students to express how they feel they performed on a piece of work, and the follow- on questions allow them to jot down notes for their own future use. It allows students to pin- point their perceived strengths and weaknesses while the topic is still fresh in their minds and before the teacher provides external feedback. The completed handout can be attached to assignments and used by students to refer back to before exams; it also allows teachers to gauge whether students are on track and if they have clear and realistic expectations of their own learning. There are two slightly different versions of the assessment form here: one asks students to draw an emoji which corresponds with the 1-10 scale of their work; the other asks for students to simply indicate a score from 1 to 10 on the scale.

Class decoration and mindfulness activity! Use this resource as a collaborative mindfulness project to help your students to become aware of and foster a sense of gratitude for small, good things which happen each day. Great for Valentine’s Day! This download consists of 19 different paper chain templates in both colour and printer friendly black and white (print on bright paper or have students decorate their links). Hand out to students and ask them to think about one positive experience or kind gesture that they have experienced recently, or one thing that they are grateful for today. Then glue together these links and create a chain which can be strung around the classroom or hallway as a tangible reminder of life’s little blessings :) Gratitude is a learned behaviour; this and focusing on positive experiences increases happiness and reduces stress. Use as a daily class meditation and let the kindness chain grow each day. Suitable for all ages.

This ‘Mingle Bingo’ is a great ice- breaker for the start of the year. There are 25 spots on the card, each describing a physical attribute (such as green eyes), a capability (such as being able to lick your elbow!) or something specific about family and home (such as having a dog, or having two sisters). Students embark on a scavenger hunt to find someone in the class who fits that description . There are two slightly different Bingo cards (although they do have some of the same points on them) which could be used together with everyone randomly handed one or the other, or choose which you prefer according to what you know about characteristics within your class. The idea is that everyone mingles and asks each other specific questions. When students find someone who “ticks” one of the boxes on their sheet, that person writes their name down in the space provided. Each person can only be used once, so students have to use a little bit of tactical thinking about whose name to place where! For smaller classes adjust the game by giving students a certain number of boxes to fill in, or ask them to complete a row or two. The activity would also be great for use in a module on Geneticsas many of the Bingo boxes ask about characteristics which are dominant and recessive genes. The cards could also be used in an English as Second Language class in an activity about describing people.

A series of 45 conversation cards, ranging from the pure ridiculous through to real mind- bogglers!

Encourage students to elaborate on their answers and talk about themselves. These are suitable for a wide range of ages from Elementary/ Primary all the way to Secondary/ High School students. There is also a Black & White set included for more economical printing, and a blank template so you can add in more of your own, or reverse the activity and ask students to make up some for themselves!
