RSPCA Wildlife and Habitats KS1 Lesson Plan – Pond Frogs
The Beano‘s SPaG LOLZ programme for primary schools covers six key spelling, punctuation and grammar topics with six curriculum-based lesson plans each for KS1 and KS2.
These lesson plans focus on joke-writing techniques taught through SPAG; designed to help classes hone their comedy skills and inject some fun into literacy lessons.
The first lesson in the series focuses on homophones, and you can download them here for KS1 and here for KS2.
Or, the whole SPaG LOLZ programme is free to download at school.beano.com.
That’s right, 55 worksheets. 55! All in one PDF.
Most of them ask students to choose between two homophones, others ask them to fill in the blanks choosing from common homophones like to, too and two.

This PowerPoint file is a baseline SPaG test for Year 7 students from the always-excellent Ms Cole (educatedminds.co.uk), so it can obviously be used for your Year 6s without too much trouble.
There are 32 slides covering spelling, punctuation, preposition, and most importantly for this of course, homophones.
Download it here.
Alternatively, if you want something to cover a wider range of young learners, this PowerPoint presentation provides a great visual to help children in their learning and understanding of what a homophone is and how a word which sounds the same can have other spellings and meanings.
It is colourful and stimulating for literacy teaching which encourages child interaction throughout.
Get it here.
This PDF features three quick exercises for students to try. The first is to think of as many homophones as they can in five minutes. The second asks them to pick out all the homophone pairs in a poem. And the third gets them to pick out any other words in the poem that could also be a homophone.
Click here to download.
This PowerPoint presentation runs through 50 homophones by first giving clues like ‘the cat that joins’ for students to guess the homophone. If they can’t, it then puts up pictures of a lynx, and some chain links, before revealing the answer.
