Top-rated form time activities to help you make form time valuable for both you and your students

Making form time count is no mean feat. Once your students have finally settled down into their own version of your seating plan and the register is done, you have very little time to set an in-depth task and get your form fully engaged before the bell rings to signal the beginning of the next lesson. But on those occasions when you do get to spend a bit more time with your tutor group or have a few more minutes to spare than you thought, why not make the most of it?

Well-planned activities can encourage teamwork, creative thinking and help you get to know your form better. So, whether you’re looking for games, teamwork tasks or 10-minute tutor time activities, we have drawn together a selection of form time ideas to support you with your form group planning.
