Greek Gods & Goddesses: Developing awareness

Greek Gods and Goddesses

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.
