Splat the Teacher



Term 2 has definitely started with a hiss and a roar so this week's PD Bite is quick and practical.

Splat the teacher is a simple 1 page powerpoint file for 2 teams answering 10 questions each on any topic. As each question is answered the 'splats' get closer to the teacher until the answer to question 10 obliterates him/her. Save the file from the wiki page (http://smc-sct.wikispaces.com/Starters+and+Plenaries) and then you can substitute the picture of the teacher for whatever you like. For example, in English classes the game could be Splat Shakespeare. I haven't used this resource yet but it seems like a good plenary activity with 10 questions based on what has been covered in the lesson/ unit.
The powerpoint was provided by Carol Young (Facilitator in Quality Teaching - Team Solutions).
