Warm-ups are a fantastic way to engage students, revise previous content and introduce new concepts. This bundle includes concepts aligned to the Australian Foundation and Pre-Primary Curriculum. This resource includes a range of editable features, so you can adjust them to suit your students' needs, or use the same slides in different ways. The included activities follow a rote learning style, e.g. sight words, as well as slides that can be the foundation of entire lessons.

Important:
Please look at the preview carefully. Most slides have a locked font for the instructions and headings. When a slide can be used in a variety of ways, editable text has been included, so you can adjust the content.
 
While we are navigating this global pandemic, I am more than happy for you to adjust this resource to best suit the needs of your class.
***Tips for Distance Learning***
Share sections of slides with parents/students through e-mail or an online platform. E.g. release new sight word slides /grammar content / math concepts each week.
Export desired slides and upload as an image for students to complete on SeeSaw (or other platform).
Display selected slides on your computer/smartboard. Work through a normal routine, filming the warm-up for students to access online.
