A map-based activity to help develop knowledge of Anglo-Saxon England.
There is an information power point with a map showing the Heptarchy -the -seven main Anglo-Saxon kingdoms and their approximate borders:
Anglo-Saxon East Anglia Essex Heptarchy Kent Mercia Northumbria Picts Saxons Strathclyde Sussex Wessex
The activity is to complete an outline version of the information map. This comes in two different versions:
One has the locations of the kingdoms but is otherwise blank for the students to write in the names.
The second has the first letter of the kingdom as a support.
Students can also colour in the kingdoms and non-Anglo-Saxon areas with a key provided.
As there were other kingdoms (especially at different times) and borders moved over time there is scope for an additional challenge of creating an alternative map.
As well as a class-based activity this is suited for homework or printed out for ‘school at home’.
