Collection: Reception Activities

Welcome to Hands-On Education, your go-to hub for primary school teachers and home educators looking for free and paid activities for key stage one and key stage two students. We understand that as a teacher or parent, time is of the essence, so we have compiled a list of fun and engaging activities that align with core curriculum topics in English, maths, and science.

For key stage one students, we recommend our free phonics activities that help children develop their reading and writing skills. Our paid maths activities include fun games and exercises that teach addition, subtraction, and multiplication in an interactive way. Science activities for this age group include experiments on the human body and the environment.

For key stage two students, we offer a range of free and paid activities that align with the core curriculum in English, maths, and science. Our free English activities include writing prompts and reading comprehension exercises that help children develop their language skills. Our paid maths activities include fun games and exercises that teach fractions, decimals, and percentages. Science activities for this age group include experiments on electricity and sound.

For home educators, we have a range of activities that can be done at home with minimal resources. Our science experiments use household items to teach children about the world around them, while our English and maths activities can be done with a pen and paper.

We hope these resources are helpful to you in your teaching and learning journey. Remember, learning should always be fun and engaging, and we are here to help you achieve that.
