Making Board Games!

What a fun activity that fosters collaboration and gives children a chance to apply what they know as well as peer scaffold. I've included a maths game that Year 1 could handle, they simply need to move forward the amount of spaces that corresponds with the answers they gave.

It's probably easier to use squares of paper that are stuck on a back sheet with younger kids, rather than have them battle with drawing squares but some will be more capable than others.

You can also do a spelling game with pick up cards, science games using questions from something they've learnt about, literacy board games based on a story they've read and so on. It can fit into most subjects which is the real beauty of it, especially when you've not had any work left for you. 

Have fun!
