Write important words,

your walls or doors...
anywhere will do.

• Have a round per free lesson/after school
and record scores on a leader board
• Successive rounds lead to a grand final
between highest scoring teams

11. Learning journey
Pick a journey or story that
you know well – route to
school?
Associate an image with
places along the route in
order to remember key
information as a story

12. Picture it
Revision through
images
Working with a
partner. One of
you draws a key
word, whilst the
other one
guesses
(Pictionary)

13. Key terms – against the clock
Associate terms, images and definitions – create a crib
sheet to use in future (your own sorting exercise)
Repeating the process important
Do on computer, so you can reset each time
Repeat and aim to get faster each time
