Students will read and learn about the origins of rugby, how to play, information on the cup, and its 2019 host Japan.

There is very little preparation to be done, but basically some printing, cutting and laminating which should take less than 20 minutes. On the day, all you need to do is group the students and scatter the the texts and clues around the room, then sit back back and watch the students have a blast.

Escape Room: Fortnite: The Supply Drop Math Mystery

(0)
Students love Escape Rooms and Fortnite. Combine them and it is a hit. Capture their imagination with this escape room and get the students excited for learning. This Fortnite Escape Room can work for both individuals and groups. I typically print off the clues in color, laminate them for durability, and scatter them around the room. I place the students in groups of 2-4. The students work their way around the clues solving them and putting the answers on the students page (which I double side, as it has the story on one side and a space for the answers on the other). When they have finished they check back in with the teacher to confirm if they are correct. I typically give them a chocolate at this stage (but that is up to you) The Story: As the storm finishes closing in you decide to check your supplies before heading off again. You notice your supplies are running low. You need to find gear quickly. You hear the familiar beeping sound that signifies a supply drop is about to occur. Looking up at the sky you begin searching for the weather balloon that will have a supply crate attached to it. Spotting the supply crate, you watch it fall gradually to the ground. Everybody knows, that seeing a loot crate is one thing, getting to it and opening it is another. What? This supply crate is locked! Solve the clues to reveal the code so that you can discover what loot is in the crate. The Puzzles: Puzzle 1: A grid logic puzzle Puzzle 2: A cryptogram Puzzle 3: 4 digit addition and subtraction problems Puzzle 4: Following Directions Puzzle 5: Reading charts and graphs Puzzle 6: Multiple single digit addition and subtraction Puzzle 7: Hundreds Board with multiples, addition and subtraction Puzzle 8: Algebra Puzzle Puzzle 9: Addition hexagon Puzzle 10: Addition circles Enjoy and please remember to follow me by clicking the following link to easily find my latest resources and receive discounts.

Back to School Amazing Mazes included Summer Amazing Mazes included Winter Amazing Mazes included Mazes help fine motor control. Mazes require your students to control their pencils through the maze without hitting the black lines. This means that they must take their time rather than rushing, in order to have greater success. Progress can be observed as your students bump into the black lines less and less as they gain greater control of their writing utensils. Students use fine motor control in order to produce correct letter formation and legible handwriting. Mazes are great for problem solving: Mazes help your students to work on their executive functioning skills, such as planning and brainstorming various strategies (e.g. starting from the beginning of the maze or working backwards from the end of maze). Included in this bundle are templates for your students to extend themselves by creating and sharing their own mazes with each other. This is one of my classes favorite things to do. This Bundle contains 60 A4 sized mazes and their solutions 30 x normal rectangular mazes 15 x circular mazes 15 x hexagonal maze Bonus square maze templates Bonus hexagonal maze templates Enjoy I know my class love them
