ABOUT
The 500 games and activities on GridClub are all linked to the curriculum and cover English & literacy;  maths & numeracy; science; design & technology; history; geography; art; health & PE; ICT & computer education; cross curricular topics & research. Most of the activities are suitable for children aged 7-11 years (with some being marked as suitable from age 5 upwards). Many children of 12 or 13 however may still find the top levels of the games and creative activities challenging.

VIDEOS
Think about using GridClub TV – series of 10 minute long programmes asking “What if” questions such as “What if we only ate chips?” or “What if we lived under water?”. Subjects cover English; maths; science; history; and geography.  These take curriculum subjects beyond the classroom for engaging exploration which supports Thinking Skills; Speaking & Listening; Cross Curricular Stimulus. To find these click on “Search-by-Subject” and then on "GridClub TV".

There’s also a fantastic range of short Scottish Videos covering history topics like WWII, the Industrial Revolution, Scara Brae and geography such as Glasgow, Fife, Orkney and the Cairngorms. To find these click on “Search-by-Activity” - the videos all appear at the top with pink tabs.
