Word search and combined word search & quiz A more challenging version of the always popular activity - it comes in a range of versions to provide differing degrees of challenge: each wordsearch has a grid and to find the same answers so that all students are covering the same range of people, places and terms 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 people, places, terms etc relating to WW2 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 or a cover lesson activity or as a resource for ‘school at home (maybe even as staff challenge!) This wordsearch (& quizzes) features a range of people: Bradley Donitz Dowding Eisenhower Guderian Manstein Montgomery Mounbatten Rommel Slim

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. There are two sets of ‘cards’ to use for ‘calling’ -one with a sentence description and one with just the name. The deities covered are: Amun, Anubis, Bastet, Bes, Geb, Hathor, Horus, Isis, Khnum, Khonsu, Montu, Nut, Osiris, Ptah, Ra, Sekhmet, Seth, Tefnut, Thoth (+ Karnak)

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

The always popular activity (even for adults!) This example document has three separate word searches each with answers provided. Each has a grid and 10 words to find. The full resource has over 110 different word searches on wide range of topics including: Medieval life, slavery and WW2. Ideal for use in a wide range of settings such as a last minute cover resource or basic homework task (good for getting students to organise their own time) Maybe even to help staff relax at lunchtime!!

A map-based activity to help develop knowledge of the Viking period in England. There is an information power point with a map showing a range of twenty places in England during the Viking and Anglo-Saxon period: Appledore Athelney Bamburgh Chester Derby Durham Edington Hoxne Leicester Lincoln Maldon Malmesbury Nottingham Southwark Stamford Thetford Torksey Wareham Winchester York (selected in part to give a wide geographical spread on the map). As this is just a selection of the multitude of sites it allows for an extra activity/challenge of students deciding where else should be included/where could be left out? The activity is to complete an outline version of the information map. This comes in two different versions: One has the locations of the places but is otherwise blank for the students to write in the names. The second has the first letter of the places as a support. An approximate line showing the ‘Danelaw’ is also shown so that students can also colour in the Viking and Anglo-Saxon controlled areas. As these areas varied 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’.

Word search and combined word search and quiz A more challenging version of the always popular activity - it comes in a range of versions to provide differing degrees of challenge: each wordsearch has a grid and to find the same answers so that all students are covering the same range of places 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 kingdom 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 places relating to the Viking Period in English history 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 or a cover lesson activity or as a resource for ‘school at home (maybe even as staff challenge!)

This resource provides a different way of developing knowledge of Viking period England. There is a list of twenty places in England during the Viking & Anglo-Saxon period, along with a sentence about each one’s location. The places are the same as those featured on our linked map and wordsearch/quiz resources: Appledore Athelney Bamburgh Chester Derby Durham Edington Hoxne Leicester Lincoln Maldon Malmesbury Nottingham Southwark Stamford Thetford Torksey Wareham Winchester York There are two separate yet linked activities: The first is a set of printable ‘cards’ with place name and the sentence about it – they can be used for matching pairs etc. Second is similar but set out as a set of ‘dominoes’ to allow for greater variety. As there were many other places of relevance during this period there is scope for an additional challenge of creating additional ‘cards’ or ‘dominoes’.

There is a list of the Heptarchy -the seven main Anglo-Saxon Kingdoms in England during the Viking & Anglo-Saxon period, along with a sentence about each one (plus the Picts, Strathclyde and ’Heptarchy’). The places are the same as those featured on our linked map and wordsearch/quiz resources: Anglo-Saxon East Anglia Essex Heptarchy Kent Mercia Northumbria Picts Saxons Strathclyde Sussex Wessex There are two separate yet linked activities: The first is a set of printable ‘cards’ with place name and the sentence about it – they can be used for matching pairs etc. Second is similar but set out as a set of ‘dominoes’ to allow for greater variety and a degree of support. As there were other kingdoms (especially at different times) and there is scope for an additional challenge of creating additional ‘cards’ or ‘dominoes’.

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’.
