POKEMON GO - Bring the Worldwide Craze Into the Classroom! Worksheet for Research and Writing Skills

(0)
This resource is a worksheet comprising four fun activities! They include hunting out local Pokestops and researching their significance, linking Pokemon to literary and historical figures and creating students' own version of the hit game. Technology is only going to become more encompassing, so now is the time for us to embrace it as educators and show students the learning that can take place while playing their favourite games!

This is a learning menu or homework choice mat to encourage students to be more kind! This works really well alongside my Saint Diary to make students more thoughtful in their actions. Some of these tasks are Christmas specific so works brilliantly in the lead-up to the holidays.

Word Class Poke Cards - 180 Self-Checking Cards for Nouns, Verbs and Adjectives

(0)
Poke Cards are super easy to use, tactile, engaging and self-checking! There are 180 cards included in this set covering nouns, adjectives and verbs. Students simply choose their answer and turn over to see if they were right! I use these for my classes higher up the school as a revision aid on word classes or for an introduction lesson for younger students. These are simply designed with high school students in mind - no childish clip art for those kids who are too cool for that sort of thing! Please be aware that there is some preparation needed beforehand including cutting and laminating, but once completed you have a resource that can be used over and over again!

BACK TO SCHOOL BOOK BINGO - 10 'Ice Breaker' Bingo Cards on Reading Habits

(0)
This resource contains a set of ten bingo cards for students to get to know each other during their first English lesson back at school. The idea of the activity is that students quiz each other about their reading habits and preferences and collect information to share. Traditional bingo rules apply - first to a line wins, then first to a 'full house'. Tasks include things such as -Find someone who has read all of the Harry Potter books (films don't count!) -Find someone who has read your favourite book -Find someone who has been so scared reading a book that they couldn't sleep And then a few literacy and grammar tasks for good measure! -Find someone who can correctly identify a noun, verb and adjective -Find someone who can give you an example of a metaphor. Files include both UK and US spellings, along with colour and black and white versions for those that are print-budget conscious!
