A word search and a combined word search and quiz This features a range of Ancient Greek Gods: Aphrodite, Ares, Artemis, Athena, Demeter, Hades, Hera, Persephone, Poseidon, Zeus It comes in a range of versions to provide differing degrees of challenge: each wordsearch has a grid and to find – the same names so that all students are covering the same range of deities whatever the level of support/challenge. The first version is a ‘traditional’ one with the words provided. Then there are four versions with a quiz: this has the same words to find but they aren’t provided -first you need to use the clues (questions) to work out what word you are searching for. One just has the clues then there are three supported versions (each of the four has the same clues): the first has the first letter of the answer; the second has the number of numbers in the answer and the third has both the first letter and number of letters. This provides students with the opportunity to develop their knowledge of a range of whilst providing varying degrees of challenge/support. They are suitable for use in class -both as a main activity and as an extension task- as well as for homework / independent study

A resource to help students improve their knowledge and understanding of the chronology of Ancient Egyptian history. This resource is designed specifically to help students in particular with the concept of chronology. To help with understanding the passage of time there is a power point presentation that shows the intervals between events, from 3100 BCE (founding of the First Dynasty) to 30 BCE (Roman annexation of Egypt). This has a range of 22 selected events and is designed to convey a sense of the passage of time by having the transition between slides vary in length depending on how many years actually passed between events. Each slide has a date, event and appropriate illustration. (Each event slide is on show for five seconds and the whole presentation lasts for approximately five minutes). There is also a ‘click through’ version of the slide show (same events) to enable the teacher to pause to give additional information or discuss the event with students. The selection of events is not meant to be definitive for the study of that period (it’s a selection not a comprehensive timeline). It is also a compilation from a range of different sources given the lack of unanimity over Egyptian history- this allows for an extra activity/challenge of students deciding what is missing/what could be left out? In addition there is also a power point showing the main periods (the ‘kingdoms’ etc-again ‘run through’ to show how long each period lasted in relation to the others.

A power point presentation featuring a range Ancient Greek gods/goddesses For each one there is a slide with a picture and their main ‘responsibility’ as well as a recognised emblem. This is a ‘click through’ presentation with a contents slide in the form of a family tree so that if preferred the teacher can select a specific deity. The 14 deities covered are: Aphrodite, Apollo, Ares, Artemis, Athena, Cronus Demeter, Hades, Hephaestus, Hera, Leto, Persephone, Poseidon, Zeus -the same as those featured on our other resources designed to support learning about Ancient Greek Gods and Goddesses.

Two activities to help students improve their knowledge and understanding of the chronology of Roman Britain -in a different, more ‘game’ based approach than a traditional worksheet. Both of which involve matching events to dates: (20 taken from those featured on the power point resource on the history of Roman Britain) from the invasion of 43 CE (ordered by Emperor Claudius) to the end of Roman control in 410 CE (when the appeal to Rome for help was rejected). 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).

Two activities to help students improve their knowledge and understanding of the chronology of English history during the Anglo-Saxon / Viking period. -in a different, more ‘game’ based approach than a traditional worksheet. Both of which involve matching events to dates: 20 events selected from the power point on the topic of the Anglo-Saxon and Viking period in England: from 449 CE -the traditional date for the arrival of the Anglo-Saxons in England-to 1066 CE and the end of Anglo-Saxon England following the Norman invasion and victory at Hastings. 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).

Since the end of WW1 the world has never been fully at peace. This resource is ideal for use at this time of remembrance (whilst also extending horizons to look at the wider world) This resource shows in visual form how the past 100+ years have still been a period of ongoing conflict (despite hopes that WW1 would be the ‘war to end all wars’). There is a selection of 50 different conflicts; a range covering civil wars, invasions and multi-national wars. The emphasis is on the post WW2 period to help support citizenship learning-in particular through helping show why there are so many refugees given the recent and on-going conflicts. (The emphasis is on the global community so wars such as the Falklands which was ‘just’ UK v an opponent are not included in this resource). In the main presentation each slide represents one year (running through takes just over 5 minutes) with each year showing the selected conflicts taking place in that year (so some slides are rather crowded!). For each conflict the dates are given as well as one sentence about it (this only appears when the conflict begins). There is also a power point presentation of 50 slides -one per conflict- as well as a word document with the same information. Finally there is a set of three word searches featuring most of the nations involved in the featured conflicts.

A simple sequencing activity to help develop chronological knowledge. There is a list of events with dates -but events are listed alphabetically- and a blank table to enter the information into (so students need to sequence the dates first). There is also a support version which has the dates in order so students need to find the corresponding event. The events are mostly those which feature in the linked resources on developing chronological understanding including the power point.

Two activities to help students improve their knowledge and understanding of the chronology of Ancient Egyptian history -in a different, more ‘game’ approach than a traditional worksheet. Both of which involve matching events to dates: (the same as on the power point resource on Egyptian history from 3100 BCE-start of the First Dynasty- to 30 BCE when the Romans annexed Egypt.). 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.

A simple sequencing activity to help develop chronological knowledge. There is a list of events with dates -but events are listed alphabetically- and a blank table to enter the information into . So students need to sequence the dates first (there is a sheet/table to help them with doing this). There is also a support version in which the table to complete has the dates in order so students just need to find the corresponding event. The events are mostly those which feature in the linked resources on developing chronological understanding including the power point-from King Narmer unifying Egypt in c3,100 BCE to the Roman annexation (30 BCE) This resource is suitable for use in class as well as ideal for homework / independent study.

Two activities to help students improve their knowledge and understanding of the chronology of Ancient Sumerian history -in a different, more ‘game’ based approach than a traditional worksheet. Both of which involve matching events to dates: (20 taken from the power point resource on Sumerian history) from c5000 BCE -start of the Uruk period and increasing urbanisation to c1760 BCE when the Babylonians conquered Mesopotamia. 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.

A set of two linked resources to support knowledge and understanding of Ancient Egypt. This resource features the 20 deities (+Karnak) that are covered in our other resources on Egyptian Gods and Goddesses. The first resource is a set of printable ‘cards’ with one half having the name of either a God/Goddess associated with Ancient Egypt and the other half a sentence on their role etc. These can be used for matching pairs activities (Answers provided!) The second resource is similar but set out as a set of dominoes to allow for greater variety and a degree of support. Ideal for use as a challenge that covers knowledge in a different way to a conventional worksheet. The deities covered are: Amun, Anubis, Bastet, Bes, Geb, Hathor, Horus, Isis, Khnum, Khonsu, Montu, Nut, Osiris, Ptah, Ra, Sekhmet, Seth, Tefnut, Thoth (+ Karnak)

366 events/people from the history of Wales-from pre-Roman times to the Modern day. This is a resource to support learning about Welsh history throughout the year There are two linked components -featuring the same events/people. On the power point presentation every day has its own slide with the featured person or events associated with Wales. In the word document each event/person has a page with a short pen sketch of c250-300 words. The people range from the famous such as Dylan Thomas to the less well known such as Frances Hoggan. Similarly the events cover a range from the rebellion of Owain Glyndwr to the first person to swim the Bristol Channel. (This is a companion resource to our other ‘Years of’ so we have tried to avoid duplicates but this has not always been possible) An informative resource especially suitable for use in assembly or tutor time.

366 events/people from the history of the continent-from the first Chinese Emperor to ISIS. This is a resource to support learning about Asian history throughout the year.

A set of linked resources and activities to help students improve their knowledge and understanding of the chronology of British history. This is an important part of the History National Curriculum but one which often causes students difficulty. This is a sample of a selection from a range of these resources. These are taken from the resources focussed on KS2. These resources are designed specifically to help students in particular with the ordering of events. To help with understanding the passage of time there is a power point presentation that shows the intervals between events. This has a range of selected events and is designed to convey a sense of the passage of time by having the transition between slides vary in length depending on how many years actually passed between events. Each slide has a date, event and appropriate illustration. (Each event slide is on show for five seconds and the whole presentation lasts for approximately five minutes). As a bonus there is also a ‘click through’ version of the slide show to enable the teacher to give additional information or discuss the event with students. The selection of events is not meant to be definitive for the study of that period (it’s a selection not a comprehensive timeline!) – this allows for an extra activity/challenge of students deciding what is missing/what could be left out. The same events are on a word document and to help with improving knowledge there are activities which involve matching events to dates etc. The first involves sorting set of five different events into the correct order – available on power point and word document. The second 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). The third is a set of ‘domino cards’ to provide a more supported matching challenge; each card has an event and a date that links to another event -so making a sequence of events. Topics available : Ancient Greece; Britain before the Romans; Roman Britain; Anglo-Saxon and Viking Britain; Periods in British history
