Find a fact
Use a simple heading or labelled information text to answer a clear question.
Using it in class
Read each complete notice or labelled text aloud, including headings. All notices describe made-up school situations; answer only from the supplied text. Pupils may point or answer orally. Explain unfamiliar words. The task is finding information, not independent decoding.
Give everyone time to think and discuss before one pupil acts at the board. The class explains and confirms together; hints and explanations stay until you move on.
Use an up-to-date browser on a computer connected to a whiteboard or shared display. Touch, mouse and keyboard; optional audio and reduced motion. No pupil accounts or personal devices.
Choose from 5 challenges up to the full activity. Discussion determines the duration: you set the pace.
Teacher Pro access includes all 30 challenges, interactive materials, hints and explanations for this activity.
