The timetable and tickets are both Polar Express themed.

A resource designed to get children excited about grammar. The idea of the game is for children to investigate what happens when we add a suffix to words. One person is to read the word out to their two team mates who must use a fly swatter to choose the options relating to what they must do before adding the suffix to their words e.g. double the letter before it or remove a letter. The first to guess right gets to keep the word card. If children are struggling they can choose one of the magic clue keys to help them.
