Activity 2 - Gridbusters

Preparation:
• Prepare the grid on your board/card.
• Print off the questions.
• Cut out hexagon shapes in two colours to stick on the board/card correct answer.

Instructions:
• Draw the grid on the board or card and write a different letter of hexagon.
• Divide the children into two teams and nominate a child to choose a letter.
• From the question sheet, choose a question whose first letter matches the child’s choice.
• The first team to guess the word correctly is given a coloured hexagon and can place it on the hexagon that they won; they then continue either vertically or horizontally.
• One team must go horizontally and the other team must go vertically.
• To win the game, a team must connect all the way from top to bottom, or from side to side.
• The battle as teams compete for a winning route makes the game fun and exciting.

Tips/Advice:
Laminating the coloured hexagons will make them last for future games.

Extension Tasks/Adaptations:
Children will love this game but you have a choice of questions so go with the question that you think they will get. If it is too easy for them add your own questions to the list.

Activity 3 - World Bingo

Instructions:
• Each child draws a 4 x 4 grid which they keep hidden from the group.
• Then the group takes turns calling out a letter.
• As each letter is called each child must put it into their grid but they choose where they place it
• Children can choose any letter they like, and letters can be repeated,
• When enough letters (16) have been called to fill the grid - each child must count up the number of words they have made in their grid which can be across, down, or diagonal, and the one with the highest score wins.

Tips/Advice:
Children can use letters that help to build words or they can use letters that stop others making words.
