Instructions are on the sheet for pupils. A choice based homework task to set at the beginning of a half term, allowing pupils to choose their own task each week. Focused on skills of researching, creativity and reading and writing. A word document so that it can be edited to suit different topics and tasks can be altered slightly.

Question bank for each letter of the alphabet n the style of Blockbusters to help students develop tier 2 vocabulary. Also includes an interactive display of the blockbusters board.

A fun way to exercise the use of conjunctions without a worksheet! Can your class make it across the board from left to right using the conjunctions in spoken or written sentences. Play it in pairs, as a whole class or as individuals. Instructions: Present the slide in full slideshow mode and click the hexagon to change its colour.

These are the resources needed to adapt a Blockbuster Game so that when pupils play it they can talk about their books and reading habits. This resources includes: Blockbuster instructions Blockbuster A-Z cards (you will need two copies) - the front of the question cards Blockbuster Question Cards - these are the back of the question cards Dice colours - these can be stuck onto a wooden dice. You will need a physical copy of the Blockbuster game to make this game up.

Using the template of the famous Blockbusters Game, think of 25 questions relating to the topic you are looking to review. Students in two teams pick a number and you read out the corresponding question. Click on the white hexagon to flash the number. If the yellow team are correct, click the white hexagon once to turn it yellow. If the blue team are correct, click the white hexagon twice to turn it blue. If you make a mistake and click too many times, just click blue hexagon to bring it back.

Like the classic TV quiz, a short starter testing knowledge of characters in Anthony Horowitz' 'Groosham Grange' Instructions for use in seperate word file

The blockbusters TV gameshow lends itself perfectly to reviewing almost any subject, especially languages. A player or team leader selects a letter, then the teacher gives a hint or definition as to what word it stands for. The first player or team* to answer gets that spot. The first team to join their sides of the game board wins. This is endlessly replayable - as long as you can think of a word, you’ve got a question. I’ve also included a “Gold Run” bonus game - in this case practicing English idioms, but could be altered to be about almost anything. This is by far my students’ favourite game, they get incredibly competitive with it! *due to the nature of the game board, the teams should be slightly imbalanced, either in ability or in numbers - just like on the show.

A half term worth of homework for KS3 creative writing.

Interactive revision for each stave, focusing on key events, characters, settings and quotations.
