How the day goes

  1. Houses, revealed

    Mark each pupil Developing, Secure or Confident. Only you see it. Deal spreads them out, so every house gets a fair mix.

    Then pupils watch each name join a house on the hall screen. Only first names are ever shown.

  2. Every race on the screen

    After each race, enter the four times on your phone. The fastest house gets 4 points, the next 3, then 2 and 1.

    The houses move up and down, and the house with the most points leads.

  3. Live scores for staff and parents

    Share the link with staff and parents. Each race’s points appear on their phones as soon as you save them. Nobody has to sign in.

How it’s set up

Questions PE leads ask

Can I add up the times instead of giving points?
Yes. In Setup’s Play step, open More options. Under How do rounds add up, choose Add them up. Then the house with the lowest total time wins.
What if two houses get the same time?
They share the place, and both get its points. If two houses end the day on the same points, their best races are compared to split them. If that can’t, you choose the order, or let chance decide.
Who can see the scores?
Anyone you give the link to. On the Stage, open More and choose Share link. They see first names, houses and points, and nobody can chat.
Can I keep the results?
Yes. On the Stage, open More and choose Download a spreadsheet. It has every house’s times and points, ready for the newsletter.
Only need the houses, with no scores?
Paste the names into the team generator. It splits them into random teams in seconds, with no sign-up.
