The last few weeks of term are approaching, but that doesn’t mean the learning stops. While you’re striving to teach your classes about key technical skills and different programs, pupils will thank you for bringing some fun and festivities into the classroom. Here are some hand-picked resources that do just that.
Make recapping key computer science terminology more interesting with this resource where learners create their own dictionaries and use the definitions to make a game. Alternatively, challenge your class to this chocolate-themed data activity, which asks them to collect data from packaging and analyse it in Excel using functions and formulas. If you really want to embrace the festive spirit, however, have a look at this spreadsheet-based mission to save Santa. The IT snowman word search could also be just the thing to kick off a lesson in the last week of term.
Check out these resources if you want to get your students using programs - including Python and Scratch - to design games and puzzles with a festive twist!
