This escape room is a great way to introduce the topic of Jews and Minorities in Nazi Germany or as a thinking skills exercise that requires the students to work together and use their logic. The resources contain a number of clues, each one giving a letter that collectively spells the word “Untermenschen”. Instructions and answers are included to make it easy for the teachers to print and collate the materials and help guide the students. My students thoroughly enjoyed this exercise, which took approximately twenty minutes, and two groups even became very competitive!

This set comprises sixteen answer cards that pertain to the subject of Women in Nazi Germany. The students can utilize their notes to infer what the questions might have been. This set of cards is a helpful tool that reinforces learning or aids in revision, as there may be more than one answer, compelling the students to make connections and read their notes attentively.

This set of ten posters displays the stories behind nine popular nursery rhymes. I use it in my classroom as a display item and am often asked questions by curious students.

This lesson can be used in multiple ways: as a standalone activity, a stretch and extend exercise, or as a part of a study on Elizabeth I. The lesson focuses on developing important skills such as managing information, communication, critical thinking, and working in teams. Uploads include: a power point to guide the teaching and the lesson; teacher guidance regarding time, activities and answers as well as a worksheet for students to collate their information. My junior classes enjoy this lesson as part of a wider study on Elizabeth I. Many see a connection between portraits of monarchy and modern celebrities controlling their image. The lesson can be altered to suit your needs but we normally allocate two hours of study time.
