Before this I have over 10 years teaching experience teaching students ranging in age 5 through to 12 and have loved every minute. “Students are engaged, motivated and keen to succeed.

Supply Teacher General Knowledge Quiz

Supply Teacher General Knowledge Quiz

(0)
This fun and engaging Game is huge with lots of general knowledge questions including sport, music, math, movies and pop culture. The games shuffle ability assures that no two games are ever the same which means you can use the same resource in a lot more than once. Also ideal for a regular class to bond with your class, build class relationships or just waste a tough afternoon. It has a range of questions from easy to hard to include everyone. I typically put the class into small groups and ask a member of the group to choose a color and number. That is the question that they have to answer. If correct they get one point. Then I move to the next group. Alternatively the whole class answers and then we tally up the points to get a winner. I run it on an interactive whiteboard but would be equally successful on a projector, computer or TV screen. Alternatively it could be run for an individual student on their own device. When you start the game press the shuffle button to randomize the questions ensuring that no game is ever the same. This means that this Jeopardy game can be used multiple times with the one class as it is different every time. This is a PowerPoint Macro Show. To run the game double click the file and make sure you say "yes" to running macros. If you do not the questions will not shuffle correctly. I have tested on a PC but it should work on other devices. If this is your first time with Macros let me know by personal message and I am happy to answer all your questions. Enjoy

This 100 page PDF contains 100 positive words for your class on A4 bunting with the England flag in the back ground. This bunting is very effective in bring out the class patriotism and in-turn your class relationships. I haven't done, but could be used for Brexit discussions. I have made a flap on top of the bunting so that it can fold over and be double sided. I have found that it lasts longer like this. once cut and folded over either feed string through the hole or use a whole punch at top on the left and right. Feed the string through these holes (this is how I do it). I also place sellotape on the back to support it even more. One year I cut the top flaps off and laminated. Enjoy

Power of Yet & Growth Mindset Multiplication Mosaic

This resource contains 2 multiplication mosaics, “The Power of Yet” and “Growth Mindset”.I find they compliment each other extremely well and provide a fun, engaging and creative way for your students to learn their timetables. I have included 2 versions of each, one with a title on it and one without. Just choose which version is best for your class and print them off. They are all ready to go. The student just needs pencils, felts, etc to color it in. If I have a struggling student that does not know their timetables yet, I hand out a timetable chart to them so that they can complete it, or make sure they can see a copy of it on the wall.

Everyone has an opinion. Help your students develop theirs with these Would You Rather cards. I have have included a recording sheet so that it encourages students to think about both sides to an argument, write which side they believe in, and share it with others. I have used them, both, as a class activity and for early finishers. The students simply choose a card and grab a pre-printed recording sheet and off they go. It makes the perfect addition to your Daily 5 work, and reading and writing centers. There are 40 cards to choose from. I simply print them off, laminate, and cut them to size. I have also included 2 versions of the task cards to choose from. First being an ink heavy version and the second a version that is more printer friendly.
