Extension Activity of the Week - 12

This is especially effective if the pupils in question have a younger sibling because they will have willing guinea pigs on whom to test it.

Invite pupils to prepare a learning activity for children 2 or more years younger than they are. They will need to consider the lesson content and then pick out the most vital portions, simplifying it for a younger audience. This will encourage them to think deeply about the learning they have done during the lesson, and if they get to try out their activity, they will also be recapping their learning within 24 hours of it taking place - a prime strategy for cementing it in their brains.
