How tall are you? HISTORY HEIGHTS DISPLAY
How tall are you compared to famous historical figures?
This is one of my favourite displays I have made! 45 famous historical figures and their HEIGHTS! I have used this in a corridor and students, staff and even parents love comparing their heights to some of the most famous people in history. This is perfect for primary or secondary schools.
All you need is a 2 metre ruler stick so you can accurately position the faces of the famous people. Included in this pack are:
Pictures of all 45 people
Labels showing their name and height
Included are a huge range of historical figures; from science, literature, music, art, world leaders and more!
It is great fun seeing students line up against famous historical people and comparing their heights.
