The Fun Toolkit

The Funometer What I learnt! Being kind Not good at discriminating

Smileyometer Can be used before and after Expect the same results! 99% Brilliant On its’ own – of limited value

FunSorter Forces the children to rank Evidence of playing fair Better for older children Constructs need care

Again - Again Less playfair evidence, easy to fill in – similar results to the FunSorter

Remembrance The Pollyanna Principle We remember what we have most enjoyed Useful when many aspects are being ranked
