Surviving Last Period on Fridays and Other Desperate Situations

This is a great aid for English teachers of middle school students. I would not recommend this for every Friday last period, but is useful for fillers towards the end of term. You can use these activities from Years 7 through to 9, however, with year 9 you may have to make some of the activities more challenging. Bravo to the authors!

This book has been a life-saver. These are fun, challenging word games to fill that dreaded down time when you haven’t planned enough or some kids are done early. I highly recommend leaving one or two with a substitute teacher!

Many good lessons/time killers in this book for those days that you know the kids just aren’t all there with you. Definetly worth the money.

If you need a fun way to reinforce a concept, Last Minute probably has what you need. The activities have substance but are easy enough to leave for the substitute. It’s one of the best Cottonwood Press ever put out which is why it’s been around a long time. It should be in every teacher’s library!
