Co-ordinates Challenge - Romans

Twelve 10x10 grids with co-ordinate instructions for colouring each square. When completed and combined, these form the complete 30x40 picture of a Roman soldier.
Ideal as an activity for a class to reignite interest in co-ordinates or revise learning. Starter, extension or applied task! A satisfying end-product which has been contributed to by a team.
(I have also used these exercises to illustrate points about working together and needing others to combine their efforts.)
I used to print 3-4 sets to allow early finishers to complete a second grid. This also ensures that you have a neat version of each of the 12 grids.
Alternatively, give one square to a child each day as a calming activity and allow them to complete the picture themselves over 12 sessions!
The fun thing is: complex Roman mosaics were often pre-built in sections which were then assembled on-site, so there is historical precedent!
Don’t worry if a mistake is made - Roman mosaics always had at least 1 intentional mistake as they believed that trying to make a mosaic perfect would be challenging the gods! So a mistake just adds authenticity!
Includes ‘pre-coloured’ completed squares at the back in event of emergency.
