    The document describes a game to teach children about magnetic poles. In the game, the children each represent a magnetic pole by holding either an N or S card. When instructed to "attract", the children find the opposite pole to stand next to. When told to "repel", they find a matching pole and stand apart. Playing this game helps children learn that opposite poles attract while matching poles repel.

    Magnetic Poles

    Before the children complete the worksheet, have them play the ‘Attract or Repel’ game.

    ‘Attract or Repel’ Game


    Each child will take on the role of a magnet pole – either north or south.
    Supply them with a mini white board or a piece of paper with either an S (south)
    or an N (north) written on it (there are printable versions on the next page).

    The children will then walk around the room (it works particularly well in the
    playground or in the hall) and you will then call out ‘repel’ or ‘attract’.

    When you call ‘attract’, the children will need to find

    an opposite pole – so a north child will need to find | | | | | |
