Simply download and laminate. I put these out on desks before tutor period. As students enter, I have them remove jackets and bags, take out equipment on the mats and complete their ‘do now’ which is the wellbeing check-in diary (uploaded in shop). I simply go around the room and check all equipment is on desks. If not, students are sent to the school equipment shop. If your school does not have an equipment shop, you could lend any missing equipment by holding onto student ID or travelcard until equipment is returned at the end of the day.
