I have been using these activities for years. It is a fun way to help students build listening and focus skills. Not only is it helpful to gain the skills but it is a relaxing activity to help students calm down after break times or a challenging lesson. I've never had a student complain when we worked on it. Well done!
Excellent resource. I have used with Early Years and EAL students who are developing their English skills. All the students loved choosing true and false. Each activity also promoted group discussion.
My class struggle with listening and I have found these games and activities to really help them to concentrate on actively listening.
Thank you for this excellent resource. Many of my pupils are of low ability, so this resource is going to make it easy for me to peer over their shoulders to assist them with note-taking as well as to ascertain how well they have listened. You've made my teaching easier, yet again.
I downloaded this pack early on in my membership and still have a very funny bunny with his small friend looking up to him, on my classroom board! It hasn't mattered how the terminology of school themes change - this is still relevant and practical. Use it every year.
Really good activities that enable children to listen and follow simple instructions. Suitable for KS1 and KS2.
I am a supply teacher and have used this pack regularly in lots of different schools. The children love these exercises and can create their own listening games from them.
This is such a fantastic pack. I use it all the time with my pupils with additional needs. It really helps them develop their listening skills. Everything is so clear and easy to use. You have everything at your fingertips and most importantly the pupils really enjoy these activities.
I have used this with my English class here in Norway! I love them and so do my pupils! Thank you!
This pack has come in handy when I have been teaching my class using Teams during lock down. The children have told me they enjoy our Wednesday listening sessions, I get most kids joining me on a Wednesday. Thank you for putting together such a great, accessible pack.
