Ancient China Chariot Craft Hands-on History Activity Template

If you’re learning about ancient China, then this template to make a chariot craft from the Shang Dynasty period will be a great hands-on activity.

The craft uses an axle so the wheels actually turn, and the chariot can be pulled by hand. You may even have some small items that children could put inside.

Visual step-by-step instructions are included.

What you’ll need for the craft:

• chariot template
• a straw
• a wooden skewer
• tape
• two popsicle sticks
• thick card for the wheels (cardboard from packing boxes work well)
• thin card (optional - cereal boxes work well)

I hope your students enjoy making their chariots!
