The activities in this book are ideal for less intensive teaching times across the school year: at the end of term (particularly after SATs in Year 6); at the beginning of term, when a teacher wants to get to know the class; or just when a teacher wants to do something different to make pupils think ‘outside the box’.

The challenges in this book make an exciting change from strictly subject-based lessons and are also ideal for supply teachers and LSAs. All the activities have been tried and tested in the classroom many times by the author, Molly Potter, who is an experienced teacher.
