A Christmas Carol | Quotes Revision | I Have Who Has | GCSE This resource is targeted towards high school students in need of key quotes revision. It is a great way to get students revising whilst making it feel like a game. There are 36 cards included, and these are divided into two games of 18 cards each. There are also two blank cards with each set in case you would like to write in a couple of your own to each game. Each card contains a quote and stave. The blue version of the game includes quotes that describe characters. The green version of the game includes quotes said by different characters. A student will read the quote on their card, and students must identify whether the character on their card said this quote, or whether the description is about their character (depending on which version of the game they’re playing). They must also identify whether the quote is from the stave specified on their card. Full instructions are included in the resource, as are all of the answers on a separate teacher sheet. There are also suggestions for differentiation, including making the game more or less challenging, as needed.

Halloween Word Games & Activities Pack for High School Keep your students engaged this Halloween with these short, seasonal literacy activities. This pack includes 10 no-prep English word activities with a seasonal twist to keep students focused. With only printing required, you can have students on-task within seconds of walking through the door. Four different seasonal activity types are included. Wordsearches, word grids, anagrams and a colour-by-number. Students will enjoy these activities that will feel like a Halloween reward but in reality gently encourage them to think about consonants, vowels, spelling and language features: trick or treat! They make great individual activities but can also be used as group/challenge task. Students love competition: why not set an activity a day and build up points towards the end of the week? Or why not have them as reward tasks for early finishers? There are different levels of challenge across the different types of activity so there’s something for every learner here, whatever their ability. You will get: three wordsearches three sheets of anagrams three word grid activities one colour-by-number activity This resource is perfect for your regular English class and is one I use as starter activities in the build-up to Halloween. This then leaves the colour-by-number as a reward once we get closer to the holidays. You could also use it with a form to give them a daily literacy boost in the build up to Halloween: cross-curricular skills…check! Prep is quick and easy. Just print and go! The resource has been designed so that the colours are seasonal but the worksheets are still clear if you have to print in grayscale. And there’s no need to frantically look through wordsearch grids…all answers are included for all activities.
