Discover: Practice makes progress

This lesson and unit build on knowledge and concepts introduced in this lesson:

• Wellbeing, Year 2, Discover, Lesson 3: Perseverance.

Provide each child with a whiteboard and a pen and ask the children to create a bingo board on their whiteboard drawing one line horizontally and one line vertically, creating four squares. Display slide 1 of the Presentation: Bingo! Ask the children to look at the key words from the list and choose four words, placing one in each of the boxes on their whiteboards.

Explain that the clues for the definitions of each key word will be read out (not in order). Provide the children with 20 seconds of thinking time and then allow them to decide whether they have a key word word written down that matches the clue. If they think it is a match, they need to cross the key word out on their bingo board. Remind the children not to rub out answers.

Once all of their key words have been struck through, the child must call 'Bingo!' Check the words and the definitions by displaying them on slide 2 of the presentation. Ask the other children to check the definitions that they have too, referring to any misconceptions.
