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.

The first is to read a piece of informative text (c 220 words) which covers all the deities and their area of influence and then complete a table -giving the relevant area for each god/goddess. The second is to read a shorter piece of text (160 words) and then complete a family tree ; there is also a support version with the first letter given.

This is a set of five colouring pages featuring some of the Olympian deities from our linked resources. (Apollo, Ares, Artemis, Athene, Demeter, Hepasteus, Hera, Poseidon, and Zeus in Olympia) 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) and 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. Please note that these images also appear in our larger collection of colouring pages on Gods, religion and home life.

A collection of resources that illustrate the role that Imperial forces played in WW1 -did you know that over 1m Indian troops served? There is a power point with a map slide showing the main contributors to the Imperial forces with each linked to a brief information slide; this information is also provided in a word document. A worksheet looks at where Imperial soldiers fought and how many there were from around the globe. There is also a wordsearch featuring fifteen of the nations that supplied troops and labourers to the Allied war effort. Ideal for study of the British Empire as well as ‘Black History’

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 resource to help students improve their knowledge and understanding of the chronology of Ancient Greek 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 the First Olympics in 776 BCE to the Romans taking control of Greece in 146 BCE. This has a range of 27 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 this allows for an extra activity/challenge of students deciding what is missing/what could be left out?
