Two activities to help students improve their knowledge and understanding of the chronology of history -in a different, more ‘game’ based approach than a traditional worksheet. Both of which involve matching events to dates: (the same as on the power point resource on Ancient Greek history) from the First Olympics in 776 BCE to the Romans taking control of Greece in 146 BCE The first is a set of printable ‘cards’ which can be used for sorting or matching tasks (such as the matching pairs game) – each event is on a separate ‘card’ from its date, organised in sets of 10 -there are two sets, but each can be used separately or the two combined to increase the difficulty level. The second is a set of ‘domino cards’ to provide a more supported matching challenge; these feature the same events and each ‘card’ links to another forming a ‘domino’ like chain (which again can be used as a set of 10 or both combined for greater challenge).

A set of forty pages of colouring sheets: A resource to support work on this popular topic as well as being useful for cross curricular art and for use when providing resources for ‘school at home’. Supplied as a pdf for ease of printing the images are taken from a range of public domain sources (mainly 19th century books). As they are mainly screenshots of old book pages this may be reflected in the quality of the outlines though many have been digitally enhanced to help provide an outline for colouring in. The images have been selected to cover a range of topics- as they are taken from old textbooks and depict Greek life there are some scenes of naked athletes etc. There are two separate sets –volume 1 covers Gods, religion and home life.
