Everyone Loves a Freebie!
I have been playing around with making some quiz cards, so I thought I might as well share! Lots of them have the answers on the same side as the question because I use them for Quiz, Quiz, Trade. this is one of the Kagan structures. The basic idea is:
It's a really effective way of learning factual information.
If you have any other good ways to use them, please leave a note in the comments to share your idea!
- Give each child a quiz card, then they stand up and raise their card in the air to find a partner.
- Then, partner A asks partner B their question, coaches them if they are finding it tricky, then gives them praise when they get it right.
- They then repeat this process, swapping roles. That's the 'Quiz, Quiz' bit.
- When they are finished that, they swap cards, raise their hand and find a new partner.
It's a really effective way of learning factual information.
If you have any other good ways to use them, please leave a note in the comments to share your idea!
So, here are some cards that can be used for this - and for lots of other things, too! Enjoy!
(Note: I haven't used these yet, so please let me know through my Contact Page if you find any mistakes!)

Classroom
Behaviour Chart & Lightbulb MomentsA hand-drawn behaviour chart to display in the classroom. I clip a peg for each child onto 'Ready to Learn' and they move up and down accordingly. Move up then be told to move up again, and you get a sticker. Move below 'Ready to Learn' and you lose privileges like being a class 'minion'. I've chosen the wording carefully to be positive. As a bonus, there's the title sheet from my 'Light Bulb Moments' display too.

HomophonesThis one depends a little on accent. For example, in Manchester our and are are homophones, as are been and bin. There is an example sentence for each word, which I'm hoping they will recall in different contexts when choosing which spelling to use in their writing.

AnglesQuestion cards about types of angle, angles within a shape, properties of angles and measuring them. These make a good Maths starter or a handy revision aid. These can also be used for Fan-n-Pick, another of my fave Kagan structures, Children work in teams of 4, child 1 fans out the cards, child 2 reads it to child 3, who answers it, child 4 paraphrases and praises. The children swap roles for the next question.

Here is a set of cards to help children to practice converting between percentages, decimal fraction and vulgar / common fractions. Again, these are good for all types of question games, maths starters etc. If you have any good ways to use them, please leave me a comment!
