This is a fantastic resource I made for improving spelling during morning activities. The words are taken from the year 3 and 4 word list. There are 20 different 7 letter words which are placed in a wheel. One of the letters is put in the middle, which has to be used in every word. Pupils then try to make 3 letter or more words.
I score it by allowing the pupils 5 minutes to find words. They get 7 points for the 7 letter word and 6 points for 6 letter words etc. Pupils read their word out and if no one else has got it they get the points. Everyone who gets the 7 letter word gets 7 points, even if someone else gets it too. Each slide has a clue what the 7 letter word is. The next slide always reveals what the 9 letter word is.
KS1 and Reception Pack of 30 PE warm up games/activities to develop:
Key skills: Familiarisation with space.
Awareness of obstacles and other children.
Respond to ‘stop’, ‘turn’, ‘change direction’ and simple signals.
Travel in different ways. Taking turns. Positional vocabulary.
Each game/activity can be used as a lesson starter to warm up the pupils and help them to practise the key skills. A list of resources is listed by each activity where needed.
Games included help pupils develop team work, understanding of rules and tactics or simple strategies. I have used these games and activities and have adapted the names of the games to match some of the topics I was teaching at a particular time.
An interactive PowerPoint where students pick a number and it links to a game/warm up. A selection of various warm ups from focus games to energetic starters. Enjoy!
A fantastic way to get your student’s brains warmed up before they go into their biology paper 1 exam (AQA, but could be edited for other awarding bodies). We have conducted warm ups before every GCSE exam as we found that students go in feeling an increased sense of confidence and positivity.
The powerpoint reminds students of the quick wins, exam techniques and some fundamental knowledge that they will already know but builds their confidence.
This resource also comes with:
retrieval game (connect 4) where students retrieve maths and scientific skills.
A3 student hand outs with exam questions
This resource could equally be used as a revision session to be completed in the weeks running up to the exam or before a mock.
Here is a list of a massive number of games that i use in my warm ups for all sports and modules.
I have also attached a bank of games that I have used over many years in afterschool clubs, breakfast clubs, holiday weeks. Can be modified to make sport specific.
Please take time to review and look at my other PE uploads.
PE game cards showing set-up and instructions for different orienteering warm-up courses. Each colour-coded card shows how to set up each course using different coloured cones. Two forms of instructions on how to move around each course are included: one set of cards shows arrows to indicate direction, the other set has compass directions for challenge. A circle with a bold, broken outline shows where each course starts.
Set of printable cards. Each has a scale such as D major, A minor pentatonic, Blues in G etc on them. Also on them is a variety of ways to play them such as staccato, legato, dotted etc. The idea is that students pick cards at random and roll a dice (IRL or virtually) to discover the way they need to practice the scale.
A fun way to warm up or learn about a variety of musical scales.

Tell me more!
I wrote this as a way of getting my students singing, moving and interacting at the start of every lesson! I use it with all my younger classes. Everyone picks up the melody quickly and looks forward to the “change places” chorus on each repeat!
Pitch/melody warm-up: the song uses a natural minor key, ideal for young singers. The range is an octave and the melody moves by step and small leaps of a 3rd.
Rhythm warm up: finger clicks help practise keeping time. The melody uses mostly quarter notes, emphasising keeping a steady beat.
Movement warm-up: the game involves swapping places each chorus.
Social warm-up: your students will all be involved, looking around the circle, and feeling the benefits of singing together.
I hope you and your students love playing and singing together using this song! If you enjoy it, please leave a review to help others find it. Follow my store for more fun music resources for your music classroom.
This resource is two games to support place value learning.
Both are fun and are great warm-up activities.

The winner of Game 1 is the student who makes the highest score.
The winner of Game 2 is the student who has their answers in numerical order.
