This free KS4 History activity helps students confidently distinguish between the Hungarian Uprising (1956) and the Prague Spring (1968) — two Cold War events that GCSE learners commonly mix up.
Designed for the Edexcel Cold War 1945–91 unit (but suitable for all boards), this resource includes:
• A 16-keyword interactive board where students test their recall by identifying which terms link to Hungary and which to Czechoslovakia
• A follow-up “Sort and Explain” challenge where students select six terms and write a one-sentence explanation for each
• An optional stretch task asking students to suggest a keyword that applies to BOTH countries and justify their choice
• Clear teacher notes to support a focused 10–15 minute activity — ideal as a starter, plenary, or retrieval routine
Perfect for strengthening recall, addressing misconceptions, and preparing students for Cold War exam questions.
Completely free to download and ready to use in any Cold War lesson sequence.
