Teaching Ideas Guided Tour
Hello and welcome to Teaching Ideas! I'm Mark Warner. I'm a primary teacher, and I also run this site. Teaching Ideas is a place for you to find and share ideas, activities and resources for use in the primary classroom.

There are thousands of ideas and resources here, and they're all split into different subject and topic areas:

Literacy
Numeracy
Science
History
Art
ICT
Physical Education
Geography
Music
Design Technology
Religious Education
Special Needs
Early Years
Foreign Languages
Assemblies
Displays
Classroom Management
Seasonal Ideas
Personal, Social and Health Education
Time-Fillers

Each of these subject / topic areas has a contents page. If there are lots of ideas for a particular subject, there may be more than one contents page.

Maths Contents page Art Contents page Classroom Management Contents page

First, choose a subject using the tabs at the top of the page...
You can then choose a topic within that subject, using the buttons under the tabs...

You will then see links to all of the ideas and resources linked to that topic / subject.

You can also use the Site Map to get to the contents pages. Alternatively, search for ideas using the search box.


When you are looking through the contents pages, you will see lots of different icons...

I also make a number of other Teaching Websites. These include:

  • Teaching Photos is a place to find hundreds of ideas for classroom displays.
  • Teaching News provides daily posts sharing the latest news, links and resources for teachers.
  • Teaching Videos is a collection of educational videos that teachers can use in their classrooms.
  • Teaching Events is a place to find events that are of interest to teachers. These might include educational shows and exhibitions for teachers to attend, or events which can be used as the starting point for creative work in the classroom.

You can also join us on Twitter and Facebook, where you we regularly post new lesson ideas, resources and links too!

If you use some of the ideas and resources on Teaching Ideas, I would be really grateful if you would consider sharing an idea of your own. Simply send an email with your idea to me at mark@teachingideas.com, and I will add it to the site so that other teachers can use it too!

I hope that Teaching Ideas is useful to you. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to email me!
