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.

Of particular use to those now old enough to vote – a brief guide to key elements of the voting process for General elections from the electoral register to the count.

A wordsearch with a difference -on ‘imaginary lines’: Arctic Circle Cancer Capricorn Date Line Equator Hemisphere Latitude Longitude Meridian Poles However before finding the ten answers in the grid you have to use the clue to work out who the person or nation it is that you are searching for. Each word search & quiz comes in four different versions (the answers are the same each time); providing three different levels of support/difficulty. Each quiz has the same clues , the first version just the question but the second version has the first letter of the answer; another has the number of letters in the answer and the final one has both the first letter and number of letters. (Answers provided as well as location in word search) Ideal for use as a reinforcement activity for knowledge of the topic or homework task -maybe even for a staffroom challenge!

A selection of activities to help tutor groups or classes get to know each other. There are a range of tasks and challenges which require students to talk to each other in order to complete. Some challenges are especially useful as ‘ice-breakers’ such as ‘Sorting ‘ and ‘Find someone who’ (see below). Others are more suitable when the students have begun to get to know each other such as ‘Discussion Points’ and ‘Dilemmas’ . Sorting activities – getting children moving and engaging with each other such as by first name or date of birth. ‘Find someone who ‘ – they have to find someone who can do a particular task or who likes something particular or who has (done) something. Discussion points - a set of questions to get small groups talking about issues (we have tried to avoid any controversial topics) Dilemmas – a different type of question for groups to discuss their response to certain situation (again we have tried to avoid any controversial topics) Ten miscellaneous challenges including ‘think outside the box, number association and ‘tell the time’ and an 'A-Z ’ of categories -which are suitable for use at either stage. A set of visual challenges that provide a different opportunity for group working: ‘spot the differences’ and ‘what is it’ (digitally altered images). The resources are provided on a power point presentation as well as in a word document contains the same activities- especially useful are the sheets to fill in for the ‘Find someone who…’ challenges.

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. 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).

AAnother resource to support knowledge and understanding of Ancient Egypt. This approaches the task of developing/assessing knowledge and understanding from a more ‘fun’ based angle. It features the range of Egyptian Gods and Goddesses featured in our other resources on this topic. There is a set of 12 ‘bingo’ cards each with nine names from the 20 names (19 deities + Karnak) -each one is slightly different so there is also an element of chance.

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 resource to help students improve their knowledge and understanding of the chronology of Ancient Sumerian 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 c5000 BCE -start of the Uruk period and increasing urbanisation to c1760 BCE when the Babylonians conquered Mesopotamia. This has a range of 25 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?

The events are mostly those which feature in the linked resources on developing chronological understanding including the power point-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.
