This is a spelling and vocabulary review game generator. it works with any words, so use it to review your weekly spelling lists in game form. A very straight forward tool. Simply type 20 words which you want students to review into a list, choose whether you want a snakes 'n ladders format or a more generic board game and print onto A4 or A3 paper. Words are placed randomly over the board. If you want to re-order the words, press F9 for a refresh and the games will regenerate. The games work as follows. Students roll a die, move a counter and spell or define the word they land on (variations would be simple, too - give a synonym/antonym etc). Playing small review games often is a much more effective system to get students to remember vocabulary than simply giving them a list of words. The game itself will work in any language. Try English, French, German, even Chinese. The kids will love it, too!

Bullying / Anti-bullying PPT that explains what bullying is in simple terms for children before leading them through some suggestions of how to deal with people bullying both themselves and others and finally an opportunity for children to agree behaviour in their class. The PPT defines bullying and gets children to think of examples and reflect on the feelings generated. They’ll think about and see some techniques to prevent bullying. They’ll then think of and be presented with what to do when they see others being bullied. Finally, they’ll come up with some agreements of how they as a class can prevent bullying. I have put some suggested agreements which can be edited and there is a space on a slide where you as a class can add your own, before printing off the slide and asking all students to sign the agreements.
