A week long project focusing on designing their own subway sandwich according to a brief. We did this each afternoon and is a great open ended task that introduces children to the enterprise concept. Side note: we also contacted our local subway store who agreed to donate subway rolls and ingredients so the children could make their subway sandwich design on the final day, which was a great way to end the project.

A Christmas quiz with 6 rounds and an optional Christmas Chaos element! I have used the chaos board for many quizzes and the children always love it! It also gets rid of the knowledge element of it a little bit as literally any team could win without getting a single question right Round 1 - General Knowledge. Festive general knowledge questions x10 Round 2 - Missing lyrics. A sentence from a song/Christmas carol with one word missing for them to fill in the blank x10 Round 3 - Festive Films. Screenshots from Christmas films with the faces covered for children to name the title of the Christmas film x 10 Round 4 - Picture round. 10 pictures that have been blurred/distorted. The children have 30 seconds to write down what the festive object is. When the bauble disappears, the 30 seconds are up Round 5 - Name that song. 5 song clips for children to name the song title and the artist for 2 points per song. Round 6 - Word Scramble. 3 minutes for the children to try and unscramble as many of the Christmas themed words as they can.* The candy cane timer starts as soon as the slide is presented.* At the end of each round, one team will be randomly selected to choose a number from the Christmas chaos board for a bonus. These include: Adding points Subtracting points Stealing away or giving points to another team Christmas themed challenges! e.g. first to draw a snowman and bring it to the teacher, first team to all sing jingle bells… Slide design and vectors from slidesgo.com
