An educational, fast and fun card game to help educate students about the Egyptian Book of the Dead. All cards are based on the real gods, monsters, spells and events found in the Book of the Dead scriptures. All images on the cards are contemporary images, and most from the Book of the Dead scriptures. The aim of the game is to collect 5 chapter cards - key events in the deceased’s journey through the netherworld - before the other players. The various gods, monsters and spells can help and hinder this aim. All cards and instructions are included, including a document containing smaller cards, to save on printing. All you need to do is print out the cards and instructions, mark the cards that are lightning cards (see instructions) and then hand the cards out to pupils (ideally 2-5 in a group) to play! If needed, you are welcome to edit the cards or instructions to make it more suitable to your pupils etc.

A display (but can also be used as a resource) showing the many achievements of individual Medieval women. I have aimed to include women from around the world, for example from South America, Asia and the Middle East.

Each power point slide has images, dates, maps, a general biography and trivia on each individual. The aim of this resource is to increase knowledge of the Medieval world and erase misconceptions of the role of women in history. The women included are: Khawla bint al-Azwar Wu Zetian Al-Khayzuran bint Atta Fatima Al-Fihri Aethelflaed Subh of Cordoba Murasaki Shikibu Hrotsvitha of Gandersheim Emma of Normandy Wallada bint al-mustakfi Hildegard von Bingen Moremi Ajasoro Margaret of Jerusalem Tomoe Gozen Khutulun Jeanne de Clisson Margaret I of Denmark Christine de Pisan Margaret Paston La Malinche

Each power point slide has images, dates, maps, a general biography and trivia on each individual, with the aim of increasing awareness on some of the many achievements of women in history. The individuals included are: Manuela Saenz Kate Sheppard Mary Wollstonecroft Sirimavo Bandaranaike Wangari Maathai Ada Lovelace Indira Ghandi Ursula Kuczynski Sojourner Truth Emperor Cixi Valentina Tereshkova Shirin Abadi Edith Windsor Yoshioka Yayoi Evelyn Scott Ellen Johnson Jeanne Villepreux Rigoberta Menchu Tum Sarah Breedlove Nadia Murad
