Form Time Activities
Short careers activities built for the ten minutes a tutor actually has. Five formats - poll, quiz, reflection, discussion and quest - generated per form group against a topic and a duration, with pupil responses captured so form time counts as evidence.

Why it matters
What changes
The honest version of the before, and what it looks like once this is running.
- Careers squeezed out of a timetable that has no room left
- Tutors asked to 'do something careers' with no material
- Registration time producing nothing you can evidence
- The same worksheet photocopied for the fourth year running
- Short activities built for the ten minutes tutors actually have
- Five formats, each with a different job to do
- Generated per form group against a topic and a duration
- Pupil responses captured, so form time counts as evidence
How it works
Up and running in minutes
Three steps, in the order you'd actually do them.
Pick a format
Poll, quiz, reflection, discussion or quest - each sized for registration rather than a full period.
Generate it for a form group
Set a topic and a duration; Chapter writes the activity for that named tutor group.
See who actually ran it
Responses captured per pupil and completion tracked per form, so form time counts as evidence.
In detail
How it actually works
The mechanics behind the screenshot.
Five formats, because ten minutes is not a lesson
A poll opens a conversation. A quiz checks a misconception. A reflection asks for one honest sentence. A discussion gives the tutor a prompt they can actually run. A quest sends the pupil into the Chapter app. Each is sized for registration, not a period.
- Poll, Quiz, Reflection, Discussion and Quest
- Generated against a topic, a duration and a named form group
- Responses collected per pupil rather than a show of hands
- Completion tracked so you can see which forms actually ran it
| Activity | Form | Type |
|---|---|---|
| What does a surveyor do all day? | 10A | Poll |
| Apprenticeship myths | 10B | Quiz |
| One job you'd never considered | 10C | Reflection |
| Networking Bingo | 9A | Quest |
Ready-made activities in the Resource Library too
Alongside generated activities, Chapter's resource templates include tutor-time material you can take as-is - Career Personality Quiz, 'Who Am I?' Mind Map, Values Card Sort, Sector Spotlight Cards, Networking Bingo - each already tagged to a year group and a benchmark.
- Templates carry their year group and Gatsby tagging already
- Print, export to Word, or send to pupils in the app
- Tutors open and deliver - no preparation step
- Sits inside Lessons, so one place holds everything a tutor teaches

Evidence & integrations
What it proves, and what it plugs into
Form time is how a programme reaches every pupil every week - the reach that Benchmark 1 and Benchmark 3 are really asking about.

Questions
The things schools ask
Not any more - it was folded into Lessons, and opening Form Time takes you to the lessons list filtered to form-time material. Same activities, one fewer place to look.
They are built for registration. You set the duration when you generate one; five minutes is the default and ten is usually the ceiling.
No. Each activity is self-contained - the tutor opens it and runs it. That is the design constraint the format works within.
Yes. Responses are captured per pupil and activities carry a completion state, so you can see which form groups ran it and which did not.
