BBC bitesize activities for young kids
Bitesize activities from the BBC specifically for the KS1 (Key Stage 1) activities for children aged 5 to 7.
...[] The KS1 Bitesize area contains both Math and Literacy interactive activities. The Math section contains 12 different activities and the Literacy section has nine. Each activity has three levels of difficulty: Medium, Hard, and Really Hard.
The graphics and audio on these activities are very professional and all the activities were developed with interactive whiteboards in mind so they all work great with the SMART Board.
The great thing about these activities is that they can be viewed full-screen to help make the activities more engaging. In addition, each activity has a corresponding worksheet. Student feedback is also very stimulating. After students touch on an answer, the activity responds with some fun animation and let's them know if they are correct.
In the Kung-Fu Sentences activity the character does a spinning Kung-Fu move after students select an answer. If the student is correct, the Kung-Fu Master flips the correct answer into place with his stick.

Hope kids find this cool, as expected by the author of this blogpost at Teachers Love SMART Boards, and -even more important- that this feature will contribute to the effectiveness of the activity!
