Full teaching PowerPoint and resources comparing and contrasting the similarities and differences of the Stone Age and Bronze Age. Includes images to compare and contrast, videos to watch, quiz questions, pictures to cut out and stick in a venn diagram, then a writing opportunity after to apply understanding.

Venn diagram with images for children to cut out and stick in the correct sections of the venn diagram. The images are all related to Stone Age and Bronze Age and of course, some are related to both. Quick activity that doesn’t take up too much of your lesson but clearly shows their understanding.

These resources could be used at the beginning of a Stone Age (or Stone Age to Iron Age ) topic. Resources include: A Stone Age poster which I would give to the children at the beginning of the lesson to see what they can infer about the Stone Age based on the images. Simple posters for the Palaeolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic periods, which I intend on giving to the children once you’ve given them a bit of background information about the Stone Age, to see if they can INFER which order the three periods came in. Stone Age to Iron Age timeline resource for children to accurately order the periods. I have purposely made them different sizes to show how vast the Palaeolithic period was compared to all others.

Two resources. The first is a description of different Ancient Egyptian people and their jobs with a hierarchy pyramid for children to write the job titles where they think it would go (pharoah of course being at the top). The second resource is a template for Top Trumps where children can draw and describe particular Ancient Egyptian people/jobs and rate them according to their power/responsibility etc.

This lesson can go across two lessons where they go outside and become hunter gatherers in the first lesson to collect animals/plants they may have hunted. The second lesson is where they apply what they have learnt by creating a food guide and top tips for survival!
