An opportunity to make revision interactive, well paced and fun.
How does it work:
Pupils work in groups in circuits stations for 8 minutes each and rotate on a claxon/bomb. At each station there is a different 'exercise' for their revision - memory techniques, exam techniques, skills and knowledge focus tasks employed. See the ppt link below for an example from Geography -

Resources needed:
Flash timer - http://www.online-stopwatch.com/bomb-countdown/full-screen/
Post-it notes
Lists of key terms, case studies, key concepts etc.
Blank paper, lined paper, coloured paper, sugar paper - some cut into small strips (for paper chains)
Red pens
Markers
PowerPoint print offs of each revision station
Exam Question(s)
Possible adaptations???
- Less time/more time at each station
- Add in other types of activities - such as using Play-dough to make visual representation of concepts instead of doing pictionary
- Provide a prize for a winning team - could be extra time for a homework/on an in class exam.
