Originally created for the Edexcel specification but applicable to AQA.
You will need:
A printer, counters and dice.
Included is the game board (A3) 18 Q&A cards and 6 blank Q&A cards (12 per A4)
Cut out the Question cards and stick the answers to the back.
This only covers the topics in Year 1 (Social Influence, Memory, Attachment, Approaches, Psychopathology and Research Methods) but the cards are easy to amend for Year 1/2.
This is a good revision or end of year activity - Get students into teams of your choice. Roll the dice, move your counter and answer the relevant colour question on the cards.
The aim is to collect all the colours before your opponents and finish in the middle.
Includes:
6x approaches (Behaviourist, Biological, Humanistic, SLT, Cognitive and Psychodynamic) and includes basic assumptions, facts and one related humourous comic - I’ve based it around the AQA spec so it may need adjusting for others.

A collection of revision resources for whole lessons or individual tasks. These are very easy to amend to whatever topic you want to focus on.
Rotating squares - Includes 11 essay questions. The aim is to give each student one essay question, give them a set time to complete the sections (AO1, I&D and AO3) then swap with another student for a set time, and again. Eventually, there will be several contributions for each essay.
Articulate - 60 Key terms of studies. Students work in teams. One student picks a card and must explain their word without saying the word. Others must figure out the word.
Revision clocks - Assign a topic. Give students 1 minute to complete each section of the clock.
Ask or answer - cut out cards. Student independently completes either asking the question that fits the answer or answering the question.
Someone who - You will need to add your own questions. Give students a sheet each, they need to ask their peers to tell them the answer and state who told them.
A03 burgers - interactive way to great effective AO3 paragraphs. In practice, I provided students with 'points' to guide them to create burgers.
