Another revision resource based on the board game trivial pursuit, create question cards with different colours representing different colours.

Let the student choose the The resource includes an editable board, editable property cards, editable chance cards and money tokens.
Plenary: Only Connect inspired Resource

Plenary: Only Connect inspired Resource

(1)
Inspired by the game show Only Connect, students have to work in groups to be the quickest to work out the link/connection between groups of 4 words, works well for a recap lesson or plenary. Students click on the word to change its colour and must group the board into 4 groups and work out the links between them. The timer gives them 2.5 minutes to do this. Or show the words on the board and set the timer and use the worksheet for all students to try and work out the link. Students liked working in groups and competing to get the fastest time.

A great way to test understanding of topic or lesson. This an editable resource to best fit your needs. Its interactive.

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.

Revision: Key Word Bullseye

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 lesson where students create a twitter account for a person they have been learning about or a book. They need to think about they key things that they would say and maybe hashtags.

Catchphrase Themed Activity/Task/Plenary

Catchphrase Themed Activity/Task/Plenary

(1)
I use this task as a mini plenary or starter or a form of revision, each time a student answers as question correctly they can choose a block to remove, they then attempt to guess what the picture is showing and how it links to what we have learnt. The process is repeated until students can guess it. To add a picture past it and shape it to whole screen. Then send the image to the back for it to be behind the numbers that disappear. This works really well for historical sources but also other images and diagrams.
BBC News Template/Homework

BBC News Template/Homework

(1)
This can be used for a homework task or part of a lesson where students have to write a BBC news article about a particular topic/theme that has been studed. I get students to then pritoise information to include titled for other top stories and make links in the relevant articles section. Change the title to whatever links to what you are learning or leave it blank and get students to add their own.

I use this for either a revision/consolidation/homework task. I change the headings and subheadings depending on the topic we are studing. Students then have to recap what they have learn trying to be concise. They also include an image which either best sums up the topic or they draw one. Then in the grey boxes they sum up the topic in key details. This works for lots of subjects and I have done it for history, sociology and RE. It also works well for book reviews.
