Val Vannet http://tiny.cc/7L27N

Idea 54: Continuum or Opinion Line Have students stand somewhere along an "opinion line (from opinion line" front to back of classroom) showing how much they agree with a given statement, eg. "Antarctica's resources should be exploited to the f ll and "All human activity, including l d h full" d ll h l d scientific research, should be banned from Antarctica". Also works well with statistics, eg "What % of the world's statistics What world s population lack access to clean water?" - 0% at the front, 100% at the back... Victoria Ellis

Idea 55: Science Songs! Some great songs here to help students to understand physical processes - "The Water Cycle Song" and "What does the glass of a g ee ouse do? a e pa t cula ly t e o greenhouse do?" are particularly good. Getting students to listen to the song and then draw a g g diagram on their second listen is a good way of using the greenhouse one... Victoria Elli Vi t i Ellis

Idea 56: Show me the links! Pupils to write down on a blank piece of A4 everything they can remember about a topic. This can be done as a group p g p activity on the board. After 5 minutes of brainstorming pupils j join up words that are linked. They can also give reasons y g why they are linked. A Foster (Beazley)

58 Mini Washing Lines Supply pupils with a shoe lace, paper clips and card to rank information along a mini washing line (continumn). For example, when looking at development and development indicators. Print the names of 6 countries onto cards. Read out a development indicator such as GDP per capita Then ask pupils (in capita. pairs) to rank the countries from highest to lowest. After a set amount of time ask pupil to hold up their washing line with cards p p p g attached to show lace using paper clips. Move onto next indicator. John Barlow

59 Classtools net Classtools.net Use the excellent classtools net by Russel Tarr in your lessons classtools.net lessons. From tools for giving pupils time limits on tasks using the countdown timer, to using the Venn diagram tool get pupils to identify the economic, social and environmental impacts of an issue such as deforestation. I also like the random name picker, where you can import a class register from Excel and then use the p g picker to p pick names at random. Especially good when pupils have written an argument, but may not be confident to put their hand up, this encourages them to speak if their name is picked out Also keeps pupils on their toes! out. John Barlow

60 - 10 Questions Pupils sit at the front facing away from the IWB. They must ask 10 YES or NO questions to find out what the q picture/clue/keyword etc on the screen is. The picture can be made cryptic to make the rest of the class think! Paul Sturtivant

61- 61 Noughts and crosses Very much like the connect four idea but I always play noughts and crosses. Have 9 questions ready, q y girls v boys and away you go... Paul Sturtivant

62-Before, Before After 62 Before Before, After, After Choose an image and ask pupils to consider what happened before the picture was taken and what will happen in pp the future. You can choose the time ranges . e.g 10 years before. Amy Foster (Beazley)

63- 63 5 Ws The simple ones are the best. Write a series of questions q about an interesting image. Who? What? Where? Why? When? Then spend the lesson finding out the answers. Image source, Beazley (Amy Foster)

64- 64 Map from Memory Pupils work in groups of 4-6. Pupils each have 20 seconds to study a map or diagram and g back to the g p and y p g go group draw what they can remember! Amy Foster (Beazley)

65 - Landscape Words Use d ll b t U and collaborate with th visual di ti ith the i l dictionary b by: • asking students to add geographical words to it • questioning how words are used in landscapes • create 'brands' for words or places from the images • create stories about urban environments using images from the dictionary http://thevisualdictionary.net/ htt //th i ldi ti t/ Daniel Raven-Ellison ActionAid A ti Aid

69 - Make a map map... UMapper is still in Beta, but allows you (and whoever else you want to help you) to create a map "What's the weather map... What s like where you are?" Or maybe spatial analysis of cheese-on-toast making y g methods.. The voice of bitter experience says "Be a bit wary if you leave it open for anyone to edit though..." Victoria Ellis

70 - Musical register Pretty simple idea idea... Registers are rubbish so liven them up with a sample p p of music from the country/place being studied that l th t lesson. C ll th students Call the t d t names out in time with the beat. image: Jeff Dahl - source wikipedia Award a prize to anyone that can identify the mystery country / place. l Noel Jenkins

71 - Create a Mini Geog Mini-Geog Brilliant idea from Alan Parkinson which needs to be revisited- great fun exercise. g Collate class mini-geogs in a PowerPoint and add the 'Gallery' music from Hart Beat- can they guess the case study or f t ? t d feature? Mini-Geog Depression Tony Cassidy

72 - Model your place on a paper plate This idea Thi id was used with Y d i h Year 4 but could be adapted for any age. Use plasticine or cut out paper to recreate an environment For environment. example, children could create a new design for their school grounds. Wendy North

73 - Make an instant 3D map You Y can use it at the start or end of a t th t t d f topic. Revise the main physical features of a case study. Ground rules – they can use anything in the classroom/in their pencil cases or on their person to make their p maps but nothing must be cut up or destroyed and everything has to go back in its place at the end.Annotate your end Annotate map with labels made from scrap paper Take an aerial photograph at the end ( Pauline W i ht P li Wright stand on a chair!)

74 - Articulate (Alternate Taboo) Divide the l Di id th class i t 2 t into teams. Gi one person f Give from each team a handful of key geographical terms. The first team has 2 minutes to describe as many terms as they can without saying the word itself, their team has to guess the words correctly and they can only have 1 pass. It is then the turn of the other group. The winning group is the group which guessed the most terms correctly. Sarah Balsdon

75 - Argument Tunnel This is a useful way to get everybody involved in expressing opinions and y g y y p g p looking at different values and attitudes. Get the students into 2 lines facing each other, have a topic that you wish to discuss e.g. developing Greenfield sites, immigration etc. one side will be arguing for the idea the sites etc idea, otherside against. They have about a minute to ‘argue’ their points with the person opposite then move 1 side up 1 place so that they can ‘argue’ with another person At the end you can have a game argue person. of argument tennis where you choose three people, two of whom take it in turns to make their points and respond to the other persons points, the third thi d person scores th argument b awarding th person who makes th the t by di the h k the best point with tennis score (5 – love, 10 - 5 etc.) Sarah Balsdon

76- Picture R 76 Pi t Reveal l Template can be dowloaded at: http://www.mediafire.com/?1jzyjzemtie Pupils take it in turns to answer questions and get to reveal a piece of the picture if they th are correct. t A nice easy homework as well for pupils to make their own from the template template. From an idea orginally posted on SLN Nik website.

78- 78 Piclits Thanks to http://www.piclits.com http://www piclits com Tom T Barrett for this idea idea. Wendy North Choose a suitably geography image from the site Ch it bl h i f th it and drag and drop your own words to create a free verse. verse

79 - '3D' excel models l d l Enter numbers (negative too!) in spreadsheet and p use surface (charts) to create '3D' model. model Can rotate model to see your landscape from different angles angles. You can download sample spreadshee t from here: f h http://is.gd/BqIO Indra Persaud

80 - Album Atlas http://www.wordmagazine.co.uk/album_atlas/ http://www wordmagazine co uk/album atlas/ Homework task: choose an LP (what are they ?) OK, a CD cover which shows a location, and mark its location on the map. Check out HUNSTANTON f my contribution. L b l must h for ib i Label have geographical f hi l feature of f some kind. Alan Parkinson

81 - Two Gun Texas A simple game to encourage students to find places using an atlas as fast as they can - great for getting them to understand that there is more than one way to use it! Really simple: Tell students to make a gun shape with one hand, they are to find the place, when stated, as f fast as they can, then place the tip of their gun upon the f atlas (fingers on the place and be the fastest to put their other hand up to win). Playing th Pl i the game: Marie S M i Sweetlove tl Students work in pairs - start off with Atals closed on desk, both stand up behind their chairs. h i Teacher says the name of a country, city, town etc depending how hard you want to make the task. Students then have to quickly find the place in the Atalas put their gun (fingers) on it Atalas, and sit down with their other hand up. Fastest pair wins! Students love the game - have played it with all ages!

82 - Dizzy Directions Put each of the compass directions on a different wall in the p classroom. When a direction is called out by the teacher, students then have to stand up and turn as fast as they can to face the correct wall. The wall slowest students, or those that turn the wrong way are out, they can then help to watch for who is out next. Keep playing until you have one winner - you can make the game harder by using eight points on the compass. Marie Sweetlove

83 - Shanty Town Game Aim: Groups have 30 mins to construct a dwelling capable of protecting their baby (pocket tissue) from the rains (watering can). ( k t ti )f th i ( t i ) Give each group some materials to get started. After a time they either start begging or stealing from the 'city dump' (store of scrap paper!). You can introduce 'work' (atlas tasks) b t th d 't ( tl t k ) but if they don't negotiate wages, I wouldn't pay th ! Exploit them as ti t ld 't them! E l it th much as you like! To create more order you can enforce only 1 man away from group at one time. After 30 mins the 'rains' come Water each one and the driest group win Tidy up and come. win. then plenary - what were the problems when trying to build a shack? What is the local crime rate like? why? What is employment like? It s It's chaos but a lot of fun and I'm always surprised by the links they make to the prior Im lessons on rural-urban migration & favelas! Origins a wonderful SLNer Clare Rose Cl R

84 - Whereabouts is that? To develop students' observation, map work and team work p , p skills (or just to spend a lesson outside in the sunshine...) Take a set of photographs around the school site - close ups close-ups and/or unusual angles - and number them. Provide pairs of students with a set of photographs and a blank map of the p g p p school site - their challenge is to identify the locations of the photographs and number them on their maps... Most correct in allotted ti ll tt d time is th winner! i the i ! Victoria Ellis

85 - Jelly Babies Game Use jelly babies to illustrate how the population of a country can change. I use it with sixth form as an intro to population. Use a revision/intro ppt, give each a piece of A4 with name of own country at the top. In groups ( ) (5-6) each p p takes 10 j y babies from central p & sketches pupil jelly pot pyramid. Take it in turns to pick an 'event' card and respond (removing or adding population as wars break out, influenze strikes, condoms & free health care are introduced) Sketch pyramid again and so on until introduced). the pile of 'events' is exhausted. Snack and discuss! Origins some wonderful SLNers... Clare Rose

86 - Quiz Quiz Trade Quiz, Quiz, Have a 10 question quiz using white boards on a revision quiz, topic or new case study. Give out article, textbook page etc and get students to find the answers to the questions. Score quiz.Give each student a number corresponding to a q quiz q question and g them to write the q get question and answer on a white board.Give 5-10 mins they have to quiz, quiz and trade boards as many times as they can in the time allocated. Sit the quiz again and mark up their progress. Clare Rose

90 - PMI Give Gi students a scenario - eg "Th world's d i "The ld' temperature has increased by 15oC" or "We can no longer import any food from abroad". abroad Students have to come up with two pluses two pluses, minuses, and two interesting things that might arise as a result of that situation situation. Victoria Ellis

91 - Play Darts Use a magnetic dartboard and this template to create p a fun active revision quiz, starter or plenary. Tony Cassidy

92 - Video Emotion Graph Instead of passive watching or active note taking taking, ask students to create an emotion line graph of their response to a video over time time. An example template can be found here. Students can consider the results and the overall impact of the video footage on their emotions. Works well g with emotive issues. Tony Cassidy

93 - Throw a globe globe... Use a globe shaped stress ball or a blow up globe for questioning. Throw the globe to the g individual you want to answer a question, this student can then throw the globe to another student.... Tony Cassidy

94 - Create a round robin round-robin Similar to the dominoes strategy but for a whole class class. Example template can be found here. Once the template has been adapted, cards can be p p , produced. Just make sure all students have a different answer and question.
