A resource to help support the development of knowledge and understanding of Ancient Egypt. A power point presentation featuring a range Ancient Egyptian gods/goddesses For each one there is a slide with a picture and their main ‘responsibility’. This is a ‘click through’ presentation with a contents slide so that if preferred the teacher can select a specific deity. The 19 deities (+ Karnak) covered are Amun, Anubis, Bastet, Bes, Geb, Hathor, Horus, Isis, Khnum, Khonsu, Montu, Nut, Osiris, Ptah, Ra, Sekhmet, Seth, Tefnut, Thoth (+ Karnak) -the same as those featured on our other resources designed to support learning about Ancient Egyptian Gods and Goddesses.

A resource to help students improve their knowledge and understanding of the chronology of Ancient Egyptian history. This resource is designed specifically to help students in particular with the concept of chronology. To help with understanding the passage of time there is a power point presentation that shows the intervals between events, from 3100 BCE (founding of the First Dynasty) to 30 BCE (Roman annexation of Egypt). This has a range of 22 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). There is also a ‘click through’ version of the slide show (same events) to enable the teacher to pause to give additional information or discuss the event with students. The selection of events is not meant to be definitive for the study of that period (it’s a selection not a comprehensive timeline). It is also a compilation from a range of different sources given the lack of unanimity over Egyptian history- this allows for an extra activity/challenge of students deciding what is missing/what could be left out? In addition there is also a power point showing the main periods (the ‘kingdoms’ etc-again ‘run through’ to show how long each period lasted in relation to the others.

A resource to help students improve their knowledge and understanding of the chronology of Ancient Sumerian history. This resource is designed specifically to help students in particular with the concept of chronology. To help with understanding the passage of time there is a power point presentation that shows the intervals between events, from c5000 BCE -start of the Uruk period and increasing urbanisation to c1760 BCE when the Babylonians conquered Mesopotamia. This has a range of 25 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). There is also a ‘click through’ version of the slide show (same events) to enable the teacher to pause to give additional information or discuss the event with students.

Two activities to help students improve their knowledge and understanding of the chronology of Ancient Sumerian history -in a different, more ‘game’ based approach than a traditional worksheet. Both of which involve matching events to dates: (20 taken from the power point resource on Sumerian history) from c5000 BCE -start of the Uruk period and increasing urbanisation to c1760 BCE when the Babylonians conquered Mesopotamia. 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 -there are two sets, but each can be used separately or the two combined to increase the difficulty level. 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 (which again can be used as a set of 10 or both combined for greater challenge).

A set of three crosswords to help reinforce knowledge of Ancient Sumerian history (people, places and terms -though mixed up to allow for the creation of appropriate layouts). Between the three crosswords they cover the following: Etana, Gilgamesh, Hammurabi, Kubaba, Mebaragsi, Naram-Sim, Sargon, Shulgi, Ur-Nammu, Uta-Hegal Akkadia, al-Ubaid, Elam, Erech, Eridu, Iran, Iraq, Kish, Lagash, Mesopotamia, Nippur, Sumer Ur, Uruk base sixty, Babylonian chariot, city, city state, Civilisation, cuneiform, empire, epic poem, king list, legal code, potter’s wheel, pottery, walls, ziggurat To provide a differing level of challenge each crossword comes with a support version with the first letter of each answer. This resource features most of the same as covered in our other resources on They are suitable for use in class -both as a main activity and as an extension task- as well as for homework / independent study

A resource to help students improve their knowledge and understanding of the chronology of English history during the Anglo-Saxon / Viking period. This resource is designed specifically to help students in particular with the concept of chronology. To help with understanding the passage of time there is a power point presentation that shows the intervals between events, from 449 CE -the traditional date for the arrival of the Anglo-Saxons in England-to 1066 CE and the end of Anglo-Saxon England following the Norman invasion and victory at Hastings. This has a range of 26 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). There is also a ‘click through’ version of the slide show (same events) to enable the teacher to pause to give additional information or discuss the event with students. The selection of events is not meant to be definitive for the study of that period (it’s a selection not a comprehensive timeline).

Two activities to help students improve their knowledge and understanding of the chronology of Roman Britain -in a different, more ‘game’ based approach than a traditional worksheet. Both of which involve matching events to dates: (20 taken from those featured on the power point resource on the history of Roman Britain) from the invasion of 43 CE (ordered by Emperor Claudius) to the end of Roman control in 410 CE (when the appeal to Rome for help was rejected). 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 -there are two sets, but each can be used separately or the two combined to increase the difficulty level. 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 (which again can be used as a set of 10 or both combined for greater challenge).

A resource to help students improve their knowledge and understanding of the chronology of the history of Britain (England) before the Roman Conquest. This resource is designed specifically to help students in particular with the concept of chronology.

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).

There is a power point with a map showing 14 selected Iron Age sites in England and Wales.: Bigbury Camp, Bredon Hill, Castell Henylls, Castle How, Chyauster, Cissbury, Glastonbury, Maiden Castle, Mam Tor, Pen-y-gaer, Stanwick, The Wrekin, Uffington, Wandlebury (selected in part to give a wide geographical spread on the map). As this is just a selection of the multitude of sites it allows for an extra activity/challenge of students deciding where else should be included/where could be left out? There are also slides to print out with the names missing for students to complete -as support there is one with the first letter provided (the list is also contained in the word document).
