A word search and a combined word search & quiz
Each wordsearch has a grid and 10 words to find.
This features a range of tools, materials, methods etc from the Stone, Bronze and Iron Ages in Britain.
The first version is a ‘traditional’ one with the words provided.
Then there is a version with a quiz (and three supported versions). 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.
There are three supported versions (each 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.
A set of resources to develop knowledge and understanding of Ancient Britain with a focus on developing chronological knowledge and understanding.
There is a power point presentation with a range of significant developments/events from c 4,500 BCE - run through version gives an indication of the passage of time.
Three related activities develop this approach with tasks using the same developments/events -for matching pairs, ‘dominoes’ and identifying time periods.
In addition there is a set of word searches and quizzes combined to further develop knowledge and understanding of these events/developments (in various versions with differing levels of support).
There are also map based tasks on iron age tribes and sites (again with support versions) -that also have basic word searches as well.
Finally there is a set of colouring pages with illustrations of artefacts etc from the Stone, Bronze and Iron Ages.

A resource designed specifically to help students improve their knowledge and understanding of Ancient Sumeria, in particular with the ordering of events.
To help with understanding the passage of time there is a power point presentation that shows the intervals between events.
This has a range of selected events and is designed to convey a sense of the passage of time by having the transition between slides vary in length depending on how many years actually passed between events.
Each slide has a date, event and appropriate illustration. (Each event slide is on show for five seconds and the whole presentation lasts for approximately five minutes).
As a bonus there is also a ‘click through’ version of the slide show to enable the teacher to give additional information or discuss the event with students.
The selection of events is not meant to be definitive (it’s a selection not a comprehensive timeline!) – this allows for an extra activity/challenge of students deciding what is missing/what could be left out. (It is also a compilation from a range of different sources given the lack of unanimity over Sumerian history)

Two activities to help students improve their knowledge and understanding of the chronology of Ancient Egyptian history.
Both of which involve matching events to dates: (the same as on the power point resource).
The first is a set of printable ‘cards’ which can be used for sorting or matching tasks (such as the matching pairs game) – each event is on a separate ‘card’ from its date (organised in sets of 10).
The second is a set of ‘domino cards’ to provide a more supported matching challenge; these feature the same events and each ‘card’ links to another forming a ‘domino’ like chain.
