The History of Gaming Cross-Curricular Project

33 pages of cross-curricular, project-based learning resources based on the history of video gaming.

PDF pack of mixed literacy, numeracy and history resources that cover National Curriculum KS1 and KS2 objectives (but based on a topic that would also be of interest to slightly older learners) plus a supporting powerpoint presentation.

Perfect for homeschooling, as a homework project, to supplement other classroom learning, to use with SEN pupils, those with gaps in their KS1/KS2 knowledge or those who would simply benefit from a re-cap.

I am a homeschooling mum of a 7 year old child with Asperger’s (and a range of other SEN), as well as a former secondary school/SEN teacher. Gaming is a particular interest of my child, as well as a great many other children, so I figured it would be good to use the topic as a motivational tool to support further learning. It has gone down well with him, so I figured that perhaps others may benefit from it too! I am only just getting started with selling my resources so I would be very grateful for any feedback.
