TEXT SPINNER
A spinner to use as a device to choose activities or whatever you want. Simple to set up and easy to use. The spinner
set up is saveable for use in subsequent lessons.

This is essentially the same as the text spinner but you use images – this could be for example used in English to
provoke discussion about a particular image. Like the text spinner this is also saveable for future lessons.
NUMBER WORKOUT
This tool works a bit like the number round on countdown – you’re given a single target number and a group of
other numbers and you have to use the group of numbers to get to the target number in the least number of steps.
Just click the recycle symbol in the bottom right hand corner to begin!

the different groups you add in. Tasks are saveable for subsequent use in future lessons.
WHAT’S IN THE BOX
Create a quiz with as many questions as you want (minimum 10 questions) and a prize board with 12 ranked prizes.

In this quiz, you give students the answers to all of the questions on a topic, ranked to either 10, 20 or 30 points
each. Students in up to 4 teams choose their answer and then attempt to give the correct question. Competitve.
