These outstanding resources on the Christmas Truce in 1914 are a great lesson no matter the time of year, but they make a particularly moving, touching and inspirational end to the long Autumn Term on the meaning of Christmas. They have been uploaded in both Office and PDF formats.
I’ve provided two resources with this lesson. They can be used in any subject across the curriculum. This topic links to History, Music, RE, PSCHE, English, Drama and Music. The first resource is a worksheet with a series of activities aimed to support a wide spectrum of learners. I’ve built in extension tasks as well as DART strategies for the less able. The PowerPoint is designed to primarily to support the delivery of the worksheet, but includes the aims and objectives, a snowballing starter for pair and share, differentiated questions for different groups, historical sources and diagrams to help illustrate core ideas as well as carefully selected video and music clips.
This is one of my favourite lessons and I am confident that it will quickly become yours as well. Treat yourself to good lesson, avoid the painful Christmas videos at the end of term and create a memorable educational moment in time for your students with this truly inspirational story.
Theme: The First World War
Know: What happened during the Christmas Truce in 1914?
Understand: Why did the British and German troops hold an unofficial truce?
Evaluate: Why wasn’t there a Christmas truce in 1915?
Skills: Source Analysis, Cause, Consequence & Collaboration
WILF – What Am I Looking For?

This great little resource is designed to be printed off and stuck around your classroom clock as a motivational aid :-)
The resource is supplied in PowerPoint and can be edited. I have left the blue circle guide in, just in case you want to customise it further, but I would recommend deleting the circles before printing.
I have added the image to the right to show off a different design - my version should wrap around your clock once you have printed it off in either A3 or A4.
Have fun and enjoy!

In the world of ever increasing accountability, this simple intervention log helps you keep of record of what you have done and can easily be shared with others.
Have fun and keep your back covered!
