One of the problems with using bought activities is that some questions in these are not relevant. In general these activities can only be used at the end of a unit to review the learning. The advantage of creating your own activities is that review can be carried out at the start of a sequence of lessons. They can be developed to suit your own teaching style and differentiated for the class.

Templates have been created to help teachers create the activities quickly [most take around 10 minutes to create ... thinking of the questions can take a little longer!]. Most can be used across the curriculum.
