Have a class set of these printed on stiff paper and laminated for a brilliant and fun assessment tool useful time and again when looking at different types of bonding and atomic structure. Either use both sides for a differentiated resource or use just the side you need and leave the other side blank to allow further closed questioning.

D20 (Dice) Plenary Chooser

D20 (Dice) Plenary Chooser

(1)
Great little plenary chooser that your pupils will get used to fast. I recommend picking up a few D20 dice (10 for £3 on ebay) and giving one to each group. Then when you want to check understanding either at the end or part way through a lesson they roll the dice and do the corresponding activity. Pupils enjoy having a semblance of control but you still get the required plenary. If you want a more controlled experience have one pupil roll the dice and every pupil has to do that specific plenary. Digital dice rollers are also available online.
