I designed these puzzle worksheets to use in school sessions in connection with my class reader, The Demon in the Embers, used to teach children about the Great Fire of London. The Demon in the Embers is the fourth book in The Scar Gatherer series, a sequence of seven time travel adventures spanning British history from Roman times up to WW2. The series website has a wealth of additional material on each period, written for children. The Restoration period pages include a timeline of the Restoration, pages about famous people from Restoration times, Restoration recipes, and a page about the Great Plague. I hope you find it useful!
