Great question! Simply print, laminate and cut and there are many uses for them!
Here are some suggestions (explained in the resource notes):

• Giant Venn Diagram activity – clear some space and get students moving with a fun collaborative task as they allocate roles to the three stages of film production (detailed instructions and suggested answers are included in the resource). A great activity to do outdoors on a nice day too!
• Match-up – pair roles with definitions around the room – another activity to get students out of their seats
• Concentration – giant memory floor game!
• Exit card – student selects a random card and provides the correct definition or role that matches the card pulled
• Flash cards – use individually, in groups or as a class to test knowledge of terms. If you laminate your cards, students can also write on the back with a whiteboard marker
