Description
The 100 Ideas series offers teachers practical, easy-to-implement strategies and activities for the classroom. Each author is an expert in their field and is passionate about sharing best practice with their peers.
Each title includes at least ten additional extra-creative Bonus Ideas that won't fail to inspire and engage all learners.
From playful learning advocate Blair Minchin, this book provides a rich toolbox of inclusive activities for using play to engage pupils in the primary classroom throughout Key Stages 1 and 2. With a section dedicated to each major curriculum area, this book offers a broad range of fun and flexible ideas. Discover activities such as Coding Cones, which teaches the principles of coding without using a computer, mental maths hopscotch, and Magnet Mazes to teach physics. The ideas are easy to try and to adapt, and have all been trialled – and enjoyed! – with pupils.
Studies have shown that engaged, playful learning can improve academic performance at all ages (not just early years) and reduce absenteeism. Use these 100 ideas to build your pupils' creativity, curiosity, resilience whilst having plenty of fun and boosting enthusiasm in your classroom!

Each book in this series gets better.
Wonderful activities that promote learning via play and creativity presented in an amazing layout that makes it easy-to-follow the activities.
I found the qr codes to be very handy.
Some of these activities can be used in all levels of education and at home with your children (even amongst adults).
The variety of the activities is ideal.
