There is nothing worse than leading your class into assembly, and realising that the person who was supposed to deliver the assembly is absent, and your colleagues all scramble back to their classrooms to -˜”sort stuff out”, leaving a room full of pupils all looking at you to deliver an assembly that will inspire and motivate them. No pressure there then! There are those colleagues who can think of their feet, and ramble on for fifteen minutes explaining the virtues of life, whether it's relevant to their audience or not. Whereas other people go into full palpitations at the prospect of delivering an assembly to the school, planning and refining their script to the second, taking weeks in the preparation.

Gaining the inspiration for an assembly can sometimes be the main obstacle, but this Amazing Assemblies for Primary Schools: 25 simple-to-prepare educational assemblies by Mike Kent offers a fantastic small collection of ideas which can provide inspiration to any teacher who is suddenly given the opportunity to deliver an assembly. The collection of ideas does require a little preparation, as many require resources to support the assembly, but the easy step-by-step ideas and guidance for each assembly is presented fantastically, giving inspiration and hope for those teachers who are thrust in front of the school to deliver an assembly.

This is a fantastic book resource which would be well positioned on any staff room book shelf to support staff who deliver assemblies, with a great mix of ideas to inspire.
