A great revision activity that I’ve done in lesson and in revision sessions. Students given score cards and rules and off they go. I recommenced laminating the score cards so they can be written on and wiped off. Add questions to the question cards cut them up and place them in cups. This idea may take some preparation and set up time You will need to get yourself some large cups and ping pong balls, recommend your local pound shop. This really worked for getting Low attainment boys to voluntary come to revision after school. Would then get some exam skills and practice in afterwards.

I always struggle when planning what homework should be set and then moaning about having increased my own workload with more marking. So I created this to solve those problems, every so often I get students to take this sheet home and to explain to an adult at home what they have learnt. The parents them comment what has been explained to them to ensure they have done it. I then expanded it to allow parents to have a dialogue and ask any questions about their child’s learning and work. This helped to increase parental engagement which was low and reduced marking on Homework. I have done this with all different years. I allowed students to also do this with other members of staff including their tutors and homework club if they have issues at home.

Print out, cut up, fold in half, laminate and add to key ring. I leave these on the table in resources trays with other things such as glues, scissors, pens etc. I use these for multiple choice questions to get quick AFL for factual recall. I pose the question for 1 min then the answers come up and students have to hold up the correct answer card. These can also be used for voting in class and in debates

These cards are simple, print and laminate. All you need to do is buy scratch card stickers, easy to find on the internet, and place them on the cards over the reward words. Or you can mix silver paint and fairy liquid and paint on them and this can be scratched off. These work well as prizes in lessons as students are excited to see what they have won. Used them for rewards for good lesson work and homework

A plenary task inspired by GET ME OUT OF HERE. Students choose a plate and if its a creepy crawly they answer a question if its a star they choose another person to answer.

These sheets are handed out when setting homework and students choose one that they are going to complete. Each version of takeaway homework has some different tasks so I use different ones every so often to give students a range. I have a homework loyalty card so students know if they just the harder choices they get more stamps, with a completed card earning them a reward e.g phone call home. This worked really well to push students to challenge themselves. For the Pizza one I print out all the slices cut and laminate. I then went to local pizza chain and asked for a clean empty box and then placed them all in there. When setting homework students took a slice to do. The Starbooks version has a downloaded font so might not appear on the word document so a PDF is included which will have the chalk text effect.
