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 and terms relating to WW1 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!)

A set of linked resources and activities to help students improve their knowledge and understanding of migration to Britain. These resources are designed specifically to help with developing an awareness of those who have moved to live in Britain. This is linked to our other resources on the topic so features twenty groups of people and twenty individuals who have moved to Britain. There are two activities which involve matching either people to their reason for moving or an individual and a key point about them; ideal for use as a challenge that covers knowledge in a different way to a conventional worksheet. 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 can be used as a set of 5 or both combined for greater challenge). 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 (maybe even as staff challenge!)

A simple sequencing activity to help develop chronological knowledge of Ancient Greece. There is a list of 28 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 the First Olympics in 776 BCE to the Romans taking control of Greece in 146 BCE. This resource is suitable for use in class as well as ideal for homework / independent study.

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?

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 wordsearch with a difference -on deserts: Antarctic Arabian Atacama Chihuahuan Gobi Kalahari Mojave Patagonian Sahara Sonoran * 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! *resource created for the US market, hence the ‘bias’

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 more challenging version of the always popular activity: two wordsearches-one on mountains of the world and one on mountain ranges . Each comes in a range of versions to provide differing degrees of challenge: each wordsearch has a grid and 10 mountains or ranges to find – the same answers so that all students are covering the same places and terms whatever the level of support/challenge. In each set 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. Ideal for use in a wide range of settings such as a last-minute cover resource or homework task or providing resources for ‘school at home’ (maybe even for a staff challenge!) The mountains/ranges covered are: Mountains: Aconcagua Denali Elbrus Everest Kilimanjaro Kosciuszko Maunu Kea Mont Blanc Puncak Jaya Vinson Ranges: Alps Andes Appalachians Atlas Caucasus Himalayas Mid Ocean Pyrenees Rockies Urals

Helps to show how political parties have had varying fortunes over the years – as well as putting the 2024 result into context (especially in terms of the government having less than half the votes). An information sources on who has governed Britain since the late 19th century with two components: 1: A power point information presentation: 34 slides- one per election to 2024; each having a slide with two pie charts showing the percentage of vote and share of MPs elected for the main parties at each election plus a picture of the winning PM. There is also a set of slides with line graphs showing votes for the main parties over time, A pie chart showing the amount of time spent in power. 2: A word document 34 tables -one per election-with the data used for the pie charts on the power point (seats and votes) A set of line graphs showing the votes for the main parties since 1918 (the first when all men-and most women-could vote). A table showing the turnout in each election since 1918-plus a line graph. A table showing the winners of elections and a pie chart showing time in office. *1892 was when Keir Hardie was the first ‘Labour’ MP elected.

Ideal for promoting debate and discussion. This resource challenges students to think about what being British means, through being critical of aspects of democracy in the UK. The UK is one of the world’s few full democracies but how well does the current system reflect voting and society? This resource encourages students to consider a range of ways in which the UK falls short- including the gender make up of representatives and how election results do not reflect votes cast. It provides opportunities to work and discuss co-operatively - developing team working and listening skills which supports democratic methods. For each aspect there is some information –including that which is critical of common perceptions of the nation (especially in the past but also today as with gender inequality). Most of them also have a selection of discussion points to stimulate debate e.g. Should voting be compulsory in the UK (it is in Australia)? Topics covered: What is democracy? The system in the UK Representative democracy? Do results reflect votes? Votes and results –by party Women in politics Ethnic minorities in politics ‘Fairer’ voting systems Local Authorities Who are the councillors? This is ideal for promoting discussion in citizenship or tutor time as well as politics etc. Provided in both word document and power point formats.

Information and comprehension tasks on a range of 12 Prime Ministers who in some way were a ‘first’ (or last in the case of Douglas Home!). There is a one page summary sheet with their image and for what they were ‘first’. There are two sheets with some outline information on each of the selected PMs- along with a set of comprehension tasks. These come in three formats: ‘5,4,3,2,1’ ; ‘True or False’ and simple questions (same information each time). There is also a crossword -and a support version with the first letter of the answer- and a word search. Ideal for developing knowledge and understanding of British political history.
