Themes of the Week, ideas for each day

(0)
Having a theme for each day is a good way to build community with a group of learners, especially when teaching online. It adds structure to the week and gives students an opportunity to participate. This pack contains alliterative ideas for each day, such as ‘tongue-twister Tuesday’ or ‘fact or fiction Friday’. There is inspiration for starter activities, quizzes, a range of subject areas and fun dressing up activities. Ideas can be printed on individual cards for each day or a chart for the week to add to your wall or stick in your planner. The cards come with UK and US spelling versions, A4 and letter size. Charts also in UK/US spelling with landscape and portrait variations. PDF and PNG files (so you can adjust the size to suit). New Update (22.01.21) Now includes example cards for Would You Rather, This or That and Friday Faves, blank cards for each day and lists of discussion points for Would You Rather and This or That. Further Update (28.08.22) Printable cards for Would You Rather (new examples) and This or That for one-to-one or small group discussion. I found these helpful for social games working in alternative provision.
