Through the classic game of Battleships, this activity will help reinforce the concept of (coordinates), specifically 4 and 6 digit grid-references in a fun way. There are two pages to this download. The first contains a 4-digit grid-reference game and a separate 6-digit game. The second page is the same setup, except their are more ships available to place on the board. Instructions: The idea is that each student in a pair gets a copy of the worksheet. They then place the designated ships on their grid using the letters. They may also colour them as well. Tip: Make sure they place all their ships on the grid and that they don’t split them up into pieces. Once the ships have been positioned, the first player will give a grid-reference to ‘bomb’. If they get a direct hit on one of the other players ships, the other player must say so and also tell what type of ship they hit. The first player can then mark on their own sheet whether it was a hit or miss. The first player to destroy all the enemy ships is the winner. My children really loved this game and it really does help them remember how to read grid-references and get quick at doing so! If you enjoy this activity, please kindly leave a review. Thank you.

The first part of this A3 board game document is based on Snakes and Ladders. The board is fully editable, with the ability to type in the spaces as well as move around the snakes and ladders. The second part of the document contains the same board, but this time with question mark spaces and fully editable question cards to use with it. This way, the board game can be used in a variety of different subjects. Children really love using the board games to review topics. I’ve used it in English, science and maths as well as other subjects. The ability to answer a question allows the student to roll the die again and the snakes and ladders add that extra element of fun and luck to the game. Children can use anything as counters in the game. We usually have a mishmash of coins, pencil sharpeners and erasers. As you can see from the preview, the board game itself is very colourful. However, I’ve also included black and white versions of each game if you need to cut costs a bit. I hope your children enjoy it as much as mine do. If you like it, please kindly leave a review. Thank you.

We study the Storm Unicorn by Pie Corbett during literacy. Leading up to this we look at other examples before the children write their own (non-chronological) report with the aid of the text. This is a re-write of the Storm Unicorn called the Candy Unicorn. Sub-titles have been added in as we encourage the use of them for better organisation. There is also another report by Pie Corbett called the Frost Unicorn which we use in addition to this as another example report text. The document is fully editable so you can change parts as you please.

This large worksheet contains several different activities about the circulatory system. The activities are as follows: Unscramble the parts of the system. Label a diagram of the system. Find words related to the system in a word search. Fill in blanks for a short paragraph about the system. Draw a diagram to show the structure of arteries and veins. Match the parts of the system with their function. Bonus: Write about how the structure of either a vein or artery is related to its function. Because of its size, this activity sheet lends itself nicely to pair work. Children really enjoy the variety of activities available. The document is fully editable so you can make adjustments to suit your needs. I’ve also included a colourful version as well as a B&W version in the document.

This worksheet comprises of four activities that all relate to the parts of the respiratory system - nostrils, mouth, larynx, pharynx, trachea, bronchus, bronchioles, lungs, alveoli etc. The activities are as follows: a) Anagrams of the parts of the respiratory system. b) Label a diagram with some of the parts of the respiratory system. c) A word search with some of the parts of the respiratory system with extra bonus words hidden within. d) Describing the function of one or two of the parts of the respiratory system. It serves as a review or follow-up to an introduction of the system and the basic process. Children are expected to know the names of the parts, how to spell them, identify them on a diagram and understand what their basic role is in the system. The document is mostly editable so you can change some of the parts to suit your children’s needs.

This is a fully editable A3 board game template which comes in both colour and black and white and also with a set of different sized question cards. Every part of the board game is editable. You can move parts where you like, type in the playing squares, adjust titles etc. All the children need are some dice and counters (which could be anything from a block to a coin). The question cards can be typed up by you or the children or you could print blank ones and they could write their own. The great thing about this game is it’s versatility. We use it to review anything from comprehension questions in literacy to word problems in maths. If a child lands on a question space, they select a question card and if they answer it correctly then they roll again. Also included on the board are snakes (for going down) and ladders (for climbing up). I’ve also included a few other fun ideas like a hospital square and different scenarios for landing on a particular square. Needless to say, the children love playing it and it’s also fun for them to edit it and create their own if there’s enough time.

This worksheet serves as a colourful introduction to the different methods of food preservation. It is a diagram showing the first letters of different ways of food preservation along with picture prompts. Discuss and elicit the methods from individuals or groups in the class. The answers are provided on the second page. They are… Freezing, refrigerating, drying or dehydrating, vacuum-packing, salting or curing, pickling, canning or jarring and smoking. I usually introduce this topic when we are going to look at the process of mummification in Ancient Egypt. If you like this worksheet and have a moment, please kindly leave a review. Thank you.

This fun activity involves children using Google Earth to discover various famous landmarks from around the world. Examples include a mixture of man-made structures such as The Taj Mahal, and natural landmarks such as Ayre’s Rock. Children can ether type or copy the coordinates into Google Earth and then easily find the monument. Older students could even try to manually find the coordinates. Once there, they can explore the landmark following which they should record its name and country in the table. This could either work as an individual competition - see who can find all the places in the quickest time. Or it could be done as a collective effort - the whole class working to find the different places before the time runs out. It works as a great follow-up lesson to mapping and use of coordinates or even just as an introduction to Google Earth or an introduction to famous human and physical geographic landmarks.

This is a spinning wheel which is made of two parts, an top wheel which has a window and a door and a bottom wheel which has the questions and answers on respectively. Instructions: a) Print out the template on card. b) Children then write an operation, for example, 3x6 in the inner section, and write the answer in the outer section. Complete each part of the pie with other operations. c) Cut out the sections of other top wheel except the dotted line which will be a fold for the door. (You may need a cuter or Stanley knife for this). d) Use a push pin to attach the wheels together so they will spin. Decorate the wheels and then cut out. Usage: With the little flap door closed, spin or turn the top wheel to reveal an operation. Try and answer it before opening the flap to reveal the correct answer. *I usually use this for children to review a the more difficult of the timestables but it could be adapted for other short question and answers that require a bit of rote learning. It just makes it all that more fun to do. *

A set of four colourful bookmarks which contain questions for readers to ask themselves (or by their parent or friend). The questions are designed to help further the children’s understanding about what they are reading. They are split into questions for before, during and after reading. *The document is fully editable so you can change any aspect of the bookmarks. Print duplex on the short side, cut out and laminate for best result. *

The Challenge This Code Breaker Challenge is made up of 4 challenge sheets, each containing three sets of questions about addition as well as an instruction section written in code. There is also a final challenge sheet for obtaining the master lock key. The Setup Ideally, the Code Breaker Challenge requires a box which can be locked with four three digit combination locks and one padlock. See the attached picture as an idea for the setup. It could however be done without this, but wouldn’t be quite as fun for the children. How to Use Fill the box with treasure, for example some sweets and then setup the combinations on each of the locks and lock the box with them and the master lock. Split the class up into four teams and provide each team with one of the challenge sheets. Start a timer of approximately 30 minutes (depending on the ability and age of your class). Each team works together to solve the challenge and tell the teacher the three digit code. If they got it correct, they may open their lock. If not, then they will need to check their answers. Once all four combination locks have been opened, or even after the first team has finished, provide the master lock challenge. If they complete it correctly and within the time, they can then have the master lock key to open the treasure box. Great Fun! The children absolutely love the Code Breaker Challenge and we repeat it at the end of every major maths unit. They really need to work together and check their work carefully if they are to succeed in opening the box and retrieving the treasure within. The documents is fully editable so you can use it as a template to create your own challenges if you like. You can also use it for other subjects as well, but it definitely lends itself to maths the most. I hope you and your children enjoy it as much as mine do! This challenge is one in many. Please take a look at my shop for other units. Thank you.

This worksheet is made up of pictures of 5 real electric circuits. The main idea is for children to look at the photos and then use the provided symbols to draw the corresponding electrical circuit diagrams. The symbols are provided in a table at the beginning of the worksheet and there are questions after each circuit. Questions probe children’s observation, connections with real life, problems with the circuits and ways to improve them. This worksheet can word as a nice introduction or even a follow-up to children building circuits for themselves. They could even build them along side completing the worksheet. I hope this helps your children to draw electrical circuits properly as well as improve their general understanding of electronics.

This fun activity involves children using Google Earth to find a variety of places or things around the world. They aren’t specific places per se, but generally places. Examples include a football stadium, cactus, iceberg etc. The idea of having generic places and things to find is that the children generally aren’t able to just do a text search. They have to actively seek and find! Children can either using a snipping tool or PrtSc (Print Screen) to save a picture of the place/thing or they could provide the coordinates of their find. This could either work as an individual competition - see who can find all the places in the quickest time. Or it could be done as a collective effort - the whole class working to find the different places before the time runs out. I hope your children enjoy it as much as mine did!
