The idea for this worksheet is that the children select a country from Asia to research and fill in the geographical facts. For example, population, capital, languages, land area, currency, religion etc. There is also a space for drawing and colouring in the flag and the background of the worksheet is a map of Asia, so children can also draw an arrow and/or colour in their chosen country. The worksheet helps children gain a broader perspective of the world and a chance to compare to their own country. It’s also a great starting point for a more in depth study of a particular country. The document is fully editable so you can change any information you please.

In this activity, children are expected to take an unknown board game called Minefield, figure out a way to play it and write the gaming instructions. The main board is provided with counters and peace signs. This works well as a team activity, as a lot of discussion needs to go into figuring out what the game play and any other equipment will be before the rules are written up. The children really loved this challenge, especially when they knew there were actually no right or wrong ways (or any way in existence) to play it. The main objective though is to try and design the game play in such a way that is both straight-forward, challenging and fun. Lots of critical thinking skills involved in the discussion stages of the activity. It’s amazing how many variants of how to play the game that the children come up with. Of course, in the end, they all get to play each others version and can decide themselves which one they enjoy the best. I hope your children love doing this activity as much as mine did!

This fact finding worksheet is made up of 10 statements about the human and physical geography of Thailand. Each statement has 1-3 blanks that the children have to fill in through either prior knowledge or researching on the internet or in books. The final section of the worksheet is a word search which contains many of the answers and other words too. Then the worksheet finished up with an open question about whether they would like to visit Thailand and why or why not. The worksheet serves as a nice introduction to various facts about Thailand and requires the children to think about what search terms to use to find the information they need effectively. I usually have the children work in pairs for this as they can bounce ideas off each other, discuss and divide the statements up between them. You can even provide a certain statement to each student in the class and then have them share their findings at the end for others to record.

This is a fully editable A3 board game and question cards set. The style is a mishmash of a Snakes and Ladders and a famous video game. All the children need is a die and counters (which could be anything from a eraser to a coin). The questions on the cards can be typed or written up by either you or the children. The great thing about this game template is its versatility. You can 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 get to roll again. Also spread around the board are vines (for going up) and pipes (for going down). You can easily move these around or edit as suits your needs. My children really love playing this game and enjoy making their own question cards if there is time. I hope you and yours enjoy it too! If you do, please take a moment to review it. Thank you.

Add that extra bit of interest by providing messages, facts or instructions as a top secret code! Works great as a lesson starter or as a breakdown in any part of the lesson. See who is able to decode the message the quickest! Can groups work together to decode it faster than others by working on different parts? You could even encode a riddle or anagram to add an extra layer of difficulty. This little app makes creating secret messages easy by using picture based fonts. Quickly type a message in a readable font and change it to a picture type font such as Wingdings. Give children the chance to enjoy playing detective!

This mystery trail is designed to be used online as a Google Doc as there are many connected links within. The mystery trail is made up of a ten tricky puzzles to solve. The solution to each puzzle provides one word of the mystery phrase. To add support, and an extra element of detective work, under each puzzle is a clue that can only be revealed by the children highlighting that area, (as the the text is white). It’s worth seeing how easy you are able to solve each puzzle so you can be on hand to provide extra support if needed. Some of my more independent learners in Year 3 were able to do it all on their own in one period. They really enjoyed the variety of puzzles and what they needed to do to figure them out. Very challenging, yet enjoyable puzzle sheet, that quite honestly took me hours to make! I hope you and your children enjoy it too.

Poster to be put next to a bottle of alcohol gel or near the bathroom sinks. Bring a new meaning to keeping hands clean!

This worksheet involves copying 2D shapes & figures. The lesson objectives and tasks, taken directly from the worksheet, are as follows… LO: I can copy a 2D shape/figure exactly as shown. Task: Use this http://print-graph-paper.com/virtual-graph-paper tool to draw out the shapes/figures as shown below. Use the Snipping Tool on the computer to then copy and paste them into this document. You may also print off some graph paper and draw by hand. The shapes get progressively more difficult to draw as the worksheet continues. As an additional task you can ask the children to create their own cool looking patterns. This worksheet is designed to be used online as a Google Doc but could also be printed. I use it in Google Classroom and create a copy for each of the children to work on.

This worksheet is split into two parts. The first part involves finding the repeating unit in the emoji patterns. The second half involves filling in the missing emoji in the patterns.

In this worksheet children can read and learn about our teeth, label a diagram with the four types of teeth; incisors, canines, premolars and molars and fill in the blanks in a text about how teeth change as we grow. The descriptions given about each type of tooth should enable children to look at the structure of teeth in the diagram and label them correctly. For the second part, a fill in the blank exercise, the children should be able to fill it in based on its context. This worksheet is suitable both for online (as a doc in Google Classroom) and offline (as a printout). I hope you also find it useful. If you do, please leave a review!
