A matching pairs game of religious teachings to augment GCSE revision for AQA Religious Studies. Simply print the religious teachings onto card (thicker is better) twice (making sure to print one-sided), as well as one table for each player. The game works best with up to 12 players, in two teams. Each team takes turns turning two cards over. They read aloud what the card says, and try and remember where it’s pair is. Once they match a pair, all players have to write it out in the table, and discuss as a group which topics it might be applicable to. When I used it I allowed 30 minutes for a full game (I had 6 - 8 players).

This is an automated powerpoint and planning sheet to train students studying GCSE AQA RS to answer the 12 Mark Questions. The PowerPoint contains, in one slide, space for the question, an animated planning time section (programmable to the length of time corresponding to the strength of your students) which disappears, as well as disappearing clocks which time the 13 minutes available for a 12 mark question in an exam situation (number of minutes divided by number of marks). The slide has space for religious teaching, as well as the standard explanation of a 12 mark question. The powerpoint advances automatically, and ends with a ‘times up’ clock covering the screen. The document is for students to plan a 12 mark question, in order to get the most out of the time given to write it. There are boxes to complete which, if done correctly, could gain them 12 out of 12.
