This is a fully editable A3 board game template which comes in both colour and black and white and also with a set of different sized question cards.
Every part of the board game is editable. You can move parts where you like, type in the playing squares, adjust titles etc.
All the children need are some dice and counters (which could be anything from a block to a coin).
The question cards can be typed up by you or the children or you could print blank ones and they could write their own. The great thing about this game is it’s versatility. We use it to review anything from comprehension questions in literacy to word problems in maths. If a child lands on a question space, they select a question card and if they answer it correctly then they roll again.
Also included on the board are snakes (for going down) and ladders (for climbing up). I’ve also included a few other fun ideas like a hospital square and different scenarios for landing on a particular square.
Needless to say, the children love playing it and it’s also fun for them to edit it and create their own if there’s enough time.
This little app called, ‘Hidden’, allows you to play a reveal the picture activity. It consists of numbered tiles which will disappear when clicked on, revealing part of the picture that lies behind.
There are two templates included:
The first has 12 numbered boxes with text boxes behind each. This allows you to write in your own questions. If the individual/team answers the question correctly, then part of the picture can be revealed for them to have a guess at what it is.
The second template has 36 tiles but no question boxes underneath. It can be used as a reward system for answering verbal questions.
I often find and use pictures with camouflaged animals in so that they are tricker to guess, even with many different parts revealed.
Two editable timeline templates for ordering events. Can be edited in Word or printed as a blank template for students to write on.
The first is a timeline with editable text boxes either side. The second is an editable flow chart.
This pack includes a selection of different well-designed, colourful and fully editable games and tools that you can use with PowerPoint in your class.
Included in this pack are the following games/tools…
Interactive Memory Game
Anagrams Game - Gobbledygook!
Reveal the Picture Game
Spinning Wheel Selector (3 types of wheels)
This is the electronic take on the classic memory game and it’s fully editable! Just add in pairs (or groups) of words for matching up. Best to be projected in front of the class and have two teams compete.
There are 24 numbered tiles that reveal the words underneath when clicked on. I’ve also included one click scoring systems (with a max 12 points for each of the two teams) as well as a hide and reveal all button.
This is great for reinforcing new vocabulary but can also be used for anything which can be split into two parts. For example, a word cut in half, a word and definition, a word and picture, a verb and its past tense form, synonyms or even a maths calculation and answer. There are so many different possibilities!
It’s also good point for introducing locational memory strategies and mnemonics.
The first part of this A3 board game document is based on Snakes and Ladders. The board is fully editable, with the ability to type in the spaces as well as move around the snakes and ladders.
The second part of the document contains the same board, but this time with question mark spaces and fully editable question cards to use with it. This way, the board game can be used in a variety of different subjects.
Children really love using the board games to review topics. I’ve used it in English, science and maths as well as other subjects. The ability to answer a question allows the student to roll the die again and the snakes and ladders add that extra element of fun and luck to the game. Children can use anything as counters in the game. We usually have a mishmash of coins, pencil sharpeners and erasers.
As you can see from the preview, the board game itself is very colourful. However, I’ve also included black and white versions of each game if you need to cut costs a bit.
I hope your children enjoy it as much as mine do. If you like it, please kindly leave a review. Thank you.
This colourful A3 board game is fully editable. You can change the contents of any of any square on the board. There are so many ways you an adapt this for different lessons. Here are a few examples…
a) Maths
Write calculations in each box for the children to solve
b) Reading
Write tricky phonics words or as I have done with this other uploads on here, write word endings and beginnings. You could also have the children use the word in context in a sentence or explain its definition etc.
c) Science
Write questions relating to your topic in the box, or add in question spaces where children have to pick up a card with a question on. You could even get the class to create their own question cards.
All you need for the game is a dice and between 2-5 players. Each of the ideas above follow the same style game play. That is, if you are able to solve the problems or read the words in the space you land on, then you are able to remain there. If not, then you go back to where you were before you rolled.
You can also get creative and add in your own special spaces such as miss a go or roll again. Or you can get really creative and add in special reasons. For example, you helped a friend in need, move forward four spaces, or you fell off your bike and broke your head, miss a go. etc.
As it says on the can! Can be used to follow up nearly any kind of field trip. Includes spaces for basic information such as where and when as well as spaces for likes, dislikes, lessons learned and a box for a drawing.
Five fully editable A4 comic book strip templates.
Let children choose which one to use for their own short comic strip. I recommend that the students cut and stick coloured speech and/or thought bubbles for added effect.
A selection of completely editable templates for making five different word games.
Word Maker 1 - A ‘Boggle’ style template with space for 16 letters (no repeating allowed). Includes instructions and points guide.
**Word Maker 2 **- Another ‘Boggle’ style template with space for 9 letters (repeating allowed) Includes instructions and points guide.
Word Maze - A grid template in which you can create a pathway for words for students to colour in. A pathway of verbs have been created as an example. Once the pathway has been made, the rest of the template needs filled with other words. Create false paths to add difficulty.
Anagrams - Table template for adding ten anagrams (plus a bonus) with spaces for writing the answers. Useful for reinforcing key vocabulary in a unit.
Three Word Story - Template for students to write a short story by alternating between writing three words each. Makes for some interesting and creative stories.
A set of four colourful bookmarks which contain questions for readers to ask themselves (or by their parent or friend).
The questions are designed to help further the children’s understanding about what they are reading.
They are split into questions for before, during and after reading.

Print duplex on the short side, cut out and laminate for best result. *

This is a fully editable A3 board game and question cards set. The style is a mishmash of a Snakes and Ladders and a famous video game. All the children need is a die and counters (which could be anything from a eraser to a coin).
The questions on the cards can be typed or written up by either you or the children. The great thing about this game template is its versatility. You can use it to review anything from comprehension questions in literacy to word problems in maths. If a child lands on a question space, they select a question card and if they answer it correctly then they get to roll again.
Also spread around the board are vines (for going up) and pipes (for going down). You can easily move these around or edit as suits your needs.
My children really love playing this game and enjoy making their own question cards if there is time. I hope you and yours enjoy it too! If you do, please take a moment to review it. Thank you.
Add that extra bit of interest by providing messages, facts or instructions as a top secret code! Works great as a lesson starter or as a breakdown in any part of the lesson.
See who is able to decode the message the quickest! Can groups work together to decode it faster than others by working on different parts? You could even encode a riddle or anagram to add an extra layer of difficulty.
This little app makes creating secret messages easy by using picture based fonts. Quickly type a message in a readable font and change it to a picture type font such as Wingdings. Give children the chance to enjoy playing detective!
A3 sized profile form which helps children collate information about themselves. I use it to help the children have a central place of reference for their personal information that they can use when writing their autobiography.
Includes basic information, family tree section, interesting facts, favourites, important moments, inspirations and more. Also has a final section where they can jot down ideas about what and where they would like to be when they are 25 years old.

A series of homework projects headed under:

Simple but effective display for teacher-parent meetings to show the main points that the child is doing well and the points they need to work on. Useful for both the teacher and the parents to refer to and a nice consolidation alongside a grade card or if there are no written reports.
Poster to be put next to a bottle of alcohol gel or near the bathroom sinks. Bring a new meaning to keeping hands clean! Maybe even encourage more children to wash their hands or use alcohol gel…
I made it to go alongside a foot pedal gel dispenser I put together for when the children return to school.
This is a colourful A3 timetable/schedule template for taking your potentially boring school version and making it into a more attractive display for the classroom wall or door or wherever.
