This fun and interactive lesson on Tollund Man is perfect for introducing students to studying history at secondary school. This classic lesson is well-suited for use as a first history lesson, during a Year 6 open evening in September, or as part of an induction week in the Summer Term.
Tollund Man is one of the best-preserved examples of a bog body, discovered in 1950 in Denmark. He is believed to have lived during the Iron Age, around 400-200 BC. His remains provide valuable insights into prehistoric life, including diet, social structure, and burial practices.
