Another exciting digital tool, Blooket, supports teacher and student accounts. With a free account, teachers can use Blooket to host a question set with a specific game mode. This game is displayed via screen/projector, then students compete on their own devices. Blooket tracks student progress, keeping a record of student responses. In turn, students are able to track their statistics via global a leaderboard ranking. They can also buy and sell “blooks” and avail themselves of community-wide events.

Solving a rebus puzzle can be a great learning activity for students of any age. Because it uses non-linguistic representation of familiar things, it is one of the high-effect-size strategies (from TCEA, 8 Dec 2020).

Check out more great ideas from GHS here! They also have reading lists :)
Put students into groups. Choose one person to be in the hot seat. The rest of their group must act out a literary based scene, the person in the hot seat has two minutes to guess it. My favourite scene to give the students was "Gandalf going through customs at the airport." Great wind-down activity near the end of term or year.
