A weekly bell activity. The slide is displayed as students enter the classroom. Students have 30 seconds to 1 minute after the bell to remember as many of the key words as they can. When the time is up, students have 2 minutes to write as many of the words as they can in the back of their book. The slide is then displayed again and the students self-assess, checking spellings and correcting where appropriate. As an extension students can be asked to write definitions of the key words too.

A powerpoint slide for each week of the school year. Used weekly in form time as a competition in teams. Students find as many words as they can from the boggle tiles. Spelling is a focus. Students also aim to get the longest word.

A powerpoint slide to use at the end of a lesson/topic as a short plenary to emphasise key words. Students list the key words from the lesson/topic and calculate the total score for each word using the scrabble tiles displayed. They then compare their words/scores with their neighbour.
