Christmas Relay 1
commutercommuter

Christmas Relay 1

(1)
Aimed at higher KS3 pupils, and C/D children in KS4 a relay activity based around Christmas. covers a variety of topics so great as a revision task whilst being a bit of fun too answers given one thing I tend to do with these relays is give the kids 3 chances on each question, get it right first time get 2 points, if they get it on 2nd go they get a point, if they get it wrong 3 times they lose 2 points. I also get them to pick 2 questions before the start, they only get 1 go on each, if they get it right they get 10 points, if they get it wrong they lose all their points or a variation of this. Builds in a little more competition and stops them rushing to be the first finished. I intend to do another relay aimed at younger pupils Hope you enjoy Please leave feedback
