Anglo-Saxon England -kingdoms: Matching

(0)
This resource provides a different way of developing knowledge of Anglo-Saxon England. 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’.

Anglo-Saxon kingdoms map

(0)
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’.

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 from the interwar period 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!)
