Foundation Daily Warm-Up – PowerPoint 1
A 73-slide PowerPoint presentation containing a variety of quick warm-up activities.
This interactive PowerPoint contains 50 activities designed to be used as daily warm-up tasks.
Display an activity on your interactive whiteboard when students enter class each day or return from a break.
The various tasks are linked to literacy and numeracy and include activities such as:
- word of the day
- punctuation
- sorting and ordering
- secret words
- mystery numbers.
Students can write their answers in a workbook or complete the activities collaboratively.
The activities in this teaching resource vary in complexity and in the time taken to complete them. To ensure you don’t repeat an activity, change the heading to red or simply move completed slides to the end of the presentation.
