Communicative or individual activity including 3 different sheets of Alien code, the answer key, and a key to help students with the decoding. 3 sets of Alien code with a key. Leave the code or messages in a 'space ship' for students to find and let them find the other part elsewhere or simply explain that you 'found these strange messages at home'. Students either communicate to decode the messages or work individually, depending what you want them to do the activity for. Sheet 1 are motivational 'fortune cookie' style messages. Sheet 2 include a treasure hunt based on 5 clues. Sufficiently generic to work in any school. Sheet 3 is a letter from the aliens requesting help. Students decode the message and then the teacher produces a list of whatever the students need to do in order to help them (for example, complete their maths homework, or find the answer to a difficult question.). The children (grades 2-8) I've done this activity with have loved it!

Create messages for your students written in alien code and print them out instantly. Alien message decoding can be a fantastic activity to engage students with a topic, or to introduce a task. This tool will allow you to type in any message in any (roman alphabet) language, and print out the message in alien code, along with a key. I love to leave these messages for students to find and watch the children's excitement as they try and decode.

3 different versions of this popular classic with a twist. Communication, competition, maths and fun all rolled into one. Just print and go. Students get a board/grid. Draw the ships onto it and then do sums to fire on their target. If they are wrong, their turn is wasted (they have to debate this with their partner). If correct, they hit or miss. Three versions to allow speedy mathematicians to continue to play while the slower ones just continue with their game.

This scaffold for Authors is a great tool for writers to plan out their scripts, screenplays, novels or any other stories with ease. Have you ever thought about writing a novel for your students, your own children, or just for fun? Or are you running a writer’s club for older students? This tool will help you or your students plan out every detail of any story so that writing becomes a breeze. By filling in the details as and when the ideas come to you, you’ll have all the notes you need to begin your writing. First, you’ll outline roughly what you want to happen in the story - beginning, middle and end. You’ll decide on a genre and you may decide on a working title. Then, you’ll plan out everything you need on each of the characters who affect the plot - what do they look like? What is their back story? What can they do? and all the other details which are important. After that, you’ll write in the steps of each character’s journey - Beginning with their normal life, following through 12 steps which will bring you to the conclusion. You’ll then jot down any additional steps or flashback scenes you want to include and finally decide on the order you want to tell the story to give the reader the best experience. This really is writing the easy way. Enjoy becoming an author, and helping your students do the same.
