Revision: Key Word Connect 4

Revision: Key Word Connect 4

(1)
This version of connect four involves printing off the tokens and laminating them. This allows you to write on key words. At the end of a lesson students can be chosen to choose a key word and define it and then place it on the game grid. This is a good way of using AFL to gauge students understanding, this works especially well for revision of a topic
Zombie Attack Timer
j_leemosleyj_leemosley

Zombie Attack Timer

(0)
A timer that works well for spotlight and quickfire questioning. Choose one student to sit in front of the projected screen whilst other students then have a minute to ask as many questions before the Zombie moves forward and attacks. The screen flickers and the zombie moves bit by bit. This works well for a competition to see how many questions each student can answer. Comes with Zombie Sound effects which can be switched off if desired.

Geography Interactive Timers

Timers give 1 or 3 minutes before they go off. The Volcano explodes with smoke and brimstone, with sound effects, whilst the iceberg melts away into the sea, the rain-forest timer starts a monsoon which ends after animals try to escape the rain and ends when the rain stops. These work well as hot seat activities, students have to answer as many questions or define as many key words before their time runs out.

Plenary Battle

A great way to end a lesson. Split the class into two teams then either ask questions to the class and which ever team answer gets to attack the other person. The first to three attacks win. Each attack is animated and with sound affects. All year groups have loved this. I’ve also made it into a debate battle where teams aim to out debate each other with a change to attack the other.
