A word search and a combined word search & quiz
Each wordsearch has a grid and 10 words to find.
This features a further variety of terms relating to life in the Anglo-Saxon and Viking periods 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 resource designed specifically to help students improve their knowledge and understanding of Ancient Egypt, 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.
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.

A simple sequencing activity to help develop chronological knowledge.
There is a list of events with dates -but events are listed alphabetically- and a blank table to enter the information into (so students need to sequence the dates first). There is also a support version which has the dates in order so students need to find the corresponding event.
The events are mostly those which feature in the linked resources on developing chronological understanding including the power point.

A set of four crosswords to help reinforce knowledge of Ancient Egyptian Gods, people(s) and places.
Each crossword comes with a support version with the first letter of each answer.
This resource features many of the same Gods, people(s) and places as covered in our other resources on Ancient Egypt.
A set of resources to develop and reinforce knowledge and understanding of Ancient Egypt, especially in terms of chronological knowledge and understanding.
There is a power point presentation of a range of events from 3,100 to 30 BCE. - also a version that plays automatically to give a sense of the passing of time.
Two related activities develop this approach with tasks using the same developments/events -for matching pairs, ‘dominoes’.
There is also a timeline based sequencing task featuring the same events.
In addition there is a set of four 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 two resources specifically focussed on a range of Gods & Goddesses -a power point with pictures and main role then a matching activity and a dominoes activity on those deities.
Also includes a set of 48 colouring pages (from 19th century books)

A set of resources to support teaching and learning about this topic- all focussed on a set of selected well known Olympian Gods. (Aphrodite, Apollo, Ares, Artemis, Athena, Cronus, Demeter, Hades, Hephaestus, Hera, Leto, Persephone, Poseidon, Zeus)
There is a power point with a clickable ‘family tree’ that has slides with a picture and sentence about the linked deity.
The word document on the same deities has a range of challenges. These include comprehension tasks such as identifying a god’s area of influence and outline family tree to complete (different versions to provide varying levels of difficulty).
There is also a set of word searches with a twist. As well as 2 traditional ones there are versions that have questions to answer before finding the word in the grid – so reinforcing knowledge of events. (There are versions with the first letter of the answer or number of letters in the answer as well as one with no clues so that they cover a wide range of challenge.)
Finally there is a set of five colouring pages featuring some of the same deities.
