A quick revision lesson activity. Print on A3 laminate. Students can then write their own questions on the sheet and then have a go at answering them. Questions get harder based around Bloom’s Taxonomy.

A great revision activity that I’ve done in lesson and in revision sessions. Students given score cards and rules and off they go. I recommenced laminating the score cards so they can be written on and wiped off. Add questions to the question cards cut them up and place them in cups. This idea may take some preparation and set up time You will need to get yourself some large cups and ping pong balls, recommend your local pound shop. This really worked for getting Low attainment boys to voluntary come to revision after school. Would then get some exam skills and practice in afterwards.

Another revision resource based on the board game trivial pursuit, create question cards with different colours representing different colours. I bought myself online some of the games tokens which were cheap or print out some colored triangles to collect. I used these activities to increase engagement and break up revision after school and during lessons.

A great way to engage students into a lesson with this as a starter. Change the picture and it will slowly move the spotlight around the picture only revealing a bit at a time and students need to work out what it is showing and how it may link to the lesson. Can have this working as students walk in as it will keep going until moved to the next slide. For history this is great for source analysis and getting students to pick out key details. To change the picture all you need to do is click on the black object send to back then add new picture and bring it foward again.

This version of connect four involves printing off the tokens and laminating them. This allows you to write on key words. At the end of a lesson students can be chosen to choose a key word and define it and then place it on the game grid. This is a good way of using AFL to gauge students understanding, this works especially well for revision of a topic

A good revision task that get students to improve description and understanding of key words. Create key word cards with 5 words/facts they need to include. Students take it in turns to be told the key word and describe it trying to get as many of the 5 points in the key word. however many of the points they get off the card they score that many points. Students take it on turns after 3 rounds whoever has scored more wins.

A resource that works well for a recap topic. Students then roll dice and answer the question or describe/give facts/ explain the topic. Works well as a revision task at the end of a topic.

When playing press the small circle to reveal the answer to the class press the large purple circle if the answer is correct and students score 100, students keep track of the scores in their teams. Lowest score by the end wins.
