Just what the label says!
dinx67 posted a link to a great minibeast pack on the Woodland Trust Nature Detective website. The pack includes a lovely set of top trump cards. They're a little small and hard to read for younger children, so I've used the sites criteria and numbers to create a simplified version.
Children use their knowledge of subtraction to work out the information on the top trumps cards. They then have to use the top trumps to fill in the answers on the worksheet. There is another version of this activity suited to girls, High School Musical.
Here is a set of blank top trump cards on pop stars on pop stars along with a rating sheet. Pupils had to complete the rating sheet ranking each star out of 20 on various categories then design questions on the cards which had the same answer as the rating. Swapping card sets with another group at the end to play each others games.
I used them for BIDMAS/BODMAS but they could also be used for anything such as percentages, fractions, rounding or basic number.
This resource includes:
24 Top Trump style cards based on popular footballers (2021).
Each card includes statistics, attributes and physical information for each player.
3-way differentiated word problems, suitable for recapping UKS2 Maths topics.
A help sheet showing the flags/countries to support in answering the questions.
A comparing and ordering numbers extension activity.
Even more suggested extension activities - The cards can provide several lessons of content for a Year 5 or 6 class!

There are 26 cards - one for each of the Bond films. I used these for maths starters as well as having them for wet play too. They were very popular!

A top trumps style game but with common birds that you are likely to see in your school grounds. Compare wingspan, weight, number of eggs laid and where the bird featured in Big Garden Birdwatch!
Loads of fun and perfect if you're taking part in Big Schools' Birdwatch
Use these for any subject you like! Couldn't find a simple one so I made my own. 8 to an A4 sheet: space for a picture a title and 4 categories to score. Use for places in Geography, people & places in history, set maths challenges... just print onto card and cut out. Print them blank for your class to make their own for great revision or Starter activities.
A good activity for those who need extra support with reading, writing or maths. Encourage children to make their own top trump cards and practise skills through playing.
These are differentiated top trump cards based on monsters inc. They have all of the circle theorems for GCSE maths but they are split for difficulty. Red (easiest) - Amber - Green - Blue (Hardest).
I have included the publisher file as I like to change the number on the back of the cards so that I can easily see which cards match with each set.
The template is based on one I saw a while ago but I cannot remember exactly who's its from. Please let me know if it is yours!
