With these Alphablocks cards, you can play four fun learning games:
- Pick a letter sound and think of as many words as you can that start with it.
- Pick an Alphablock and describe it. Can your friend guess which one it is?
- Say the sound each picture starts with to guess who's on the other side!
- Think of a describing word to go with each picture. Wobbly jelly! Stripy sock! Your turn...
In Genghis Khan's Ruthless Army, host Andrew Marr takes us to the early 13th Century. Genghis Khan’s army is in the midst of its ruthless military campaign to conquer land across Europe and Asia. As it attacks and takes over city after city, it adopts ideas and technology, which contribute to the army’s success in ruling such a large territory. After having conquered all that he could, Khan ushers in a period of prosperity and peace. This video is excerpted from BBC’s A History of the World, a story of human history that uses reenactments, modern footage, and storytelling to explain history’s greatest achievements.
Psst, over here! Sparkle-Shot (that’s Bingo) has found these secret notes from Mum and Dad. What do they say? Look at the code from Mum and write out what she's saying! And what about a long message from Dad? Plus, help Drill Sergeant Rusty reach Private Jack using their mission code.
For extra fun, why not make up your own mission code and test it out with a friend? It could be in your bedroom or school playground or park. You could even swap secret messages using Mum and Dad’s alphabet code!
