What are Themed Video Hooks?

Themed Video Hooks are the perfect way to introduce some excitement into your new topic or theme. Created by qualified teachers, all of our Themed Video Hooks begin with an exciting video introduction which sets the scene and gives children context for their learning. This could be shown at the start of a special themed day, or at the start of a new half term to introduce a topic. You will then find a series of further Video Hooks for each curriculum area. Used at the start of a lesson or activity session, the video hook can guide your planning but gives you the freedom to take the prompt in a direction that suits your class’s needs and requirements. To make your life easier, each theme has its very own interactive PDF, where we have included a suggested lesson overview along with prompt questions which can help your planning. Each lesson overview contains links to the English National Curriculum, and for each subject you will also find a list of other activities that you may wish to try. You can use as many, or as few of these videos as you like - the possibilities are endless! At the end of your themed day or topic, you can wrap things up with a final video to say goodbye.
