Slavery Through History card sort

This resource can be used to help introduce the concept of slavery, particularly alongside children’s study of the Transatlantic Slave Trade. The card sort illustrates that slavery was not new to the world in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, and that it is a cultural phenomenon that is unfortunately still present today.

The map cards introduce the civilisation, the blue cards describe how the civlisation acquired its slaves and the yellow cards explain the motivations behind slavery for this civilisation. This will create 6 threads. Students can then consider the change in motivations across time.
