A set of word searches and associated sorting activity to help develop knowledge of migration to the British Isles –both individuals born abroad and nationalities that have provided many migrants to Britain over the centuries. Has twenty of each of a range of individuals and nationalties… Word search and mini quiz combined A more challenging version of the always popular activity (even for adults!) There is a set of four different word searches – two on individuals , two on nationalities. However before finding the ten people or nationalities events you have to use the clue to work out who the person or nationality it is that you are searching for. Each word search & quiz comes in three different versions (the answers are the same each time); providing different levels of support/difficulty. Each quiz has the same clues but one has the first letter of the answer; one has the number of letters in the answer and one has both the first letter and number of letters. Ideal for use as a reinforcement activity or homework task -maybe even for a staffroom challenge! P.S There is also a set of ‘traditional’ word searches featuring the same people/nationalities Sorting challenge : This uses the same people/nationalities and clues as in the word searches. There is a set of printable ‘cards’ which can be used for sorting or matching tasks (such as the matching pairs game) – each person or event is on a separate ‘card’ from its clue (organised in sets of 10).

A set of linked resources and activities to help develop knowledge of the Romanisation of Britain. There is a power point with a map showing a number of Roman settlements in England and Wales as well as several well-known roads. There are also slides to print out with the names missing (or just the first letter provided) for students to complete (the list is contained in the word document). The word document lists the settlements and has three separate activities. The first is a set of printable ‘cards’ with the Roman and modern names of the settlements from the map – they can be used for matching pairs etc. Second is similar but set out as a set of dominoes to allow for greater variety. Thirdly is a set of four word searches covering most of the names of the featured settlements. Together the set provides a range of ways of developing knowledge of Roman Britain and most activities are suitable for homework or adapted for ‘school at home’.

A collection of resources that illustrate the role that Imperial forces played in WW1 -did you know that over 1m Indian troops served? There is a power point with a map slide showing the main contributors to the Imperial forces with each linked to a brief information slide; this information is also provided in a word document. A worksheet looks at where Imperial soldiers fought and how many there were from around the globe. There is also a wordsearch featuring fifteen of the nations that supplied troops and labourers to the Allied war effort. Ideal for study of the British Empire as well as ‘Black History’

Since the end of WW1 the world has never been fully at peace. This resource is ideal for use at this time of remembrance (whilst also extending horizons to look at the wider world) This resource shows in visual form how the past 100+ years have still been a period of ongoing conflict (despite hopes that WW1 would be the ‘war to end all wars’). There is a selection of 50 different conflicts; a range covering civil wars, invasions and multi-national wars. The emphasis is on the post WW2 period to help support citizenship learning-in particular through helping show why there are so many refugees given the recent and on-going conflicts. (The emphasis is on the global community so wars such as the Falklands which was ‘just’ UK v an opponent are not included in this resource). In the main presentation each slide represents one year (running through takes just over 5 minutes) with each year showing the selected conflicts taking place in that year (so some slides are rather crowded!). For each conflict the dates are given as well as one sentence about it (this only appears when the conflict begins). There is also a power point presentation of 50 slides -one per conflict- as well as a word document with the same information. Finally there is a set of three word searches featuring most of the nations involved in the featured conflicts.

Updated for Charles III This resource is a power point with a difference to support knowledge and understanding of chronology. Each slide features a picture of the monarchs of England/Britain from Alfred the Great to Charles III. Each slide appears for a varied amount of time. This helps show how much real time they reigned for – in this presentation 1 second equals 4 years (so the presentation lasts for around 5 minutes) .

Two examples from our selection of information on a range of 40 people or events associated with Wales. There is a power point presentation with some information on each person/event. Please note these are taken from resources which have been provided as part of our Daily Tutor Time © subscription from 2012 to 2017.

A set of linked resources and activities to help students improve their knowledge and understanding of the chronology of British history. This is an important part of the History National Curriculum but one which often causes students difficulty. This is a sample of a selection from a range of these resources. These are taken from the resources focussed on KS3. These resources are designed specifically to help students 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 for the study of that period (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. The same events are on a word document and to help with improving knowledge there are activities which involve matching events to dates etc. The first involves sorting set of five different events into the correct order – available on power point and word document. The second 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 third is a set of ‘domino cards’ to provide a more supported matching challenge; each card has an event and a date that links to another event -so making a sequence of events. There are available the following sets of resources: (KS3) Periods in British History Medieval Times (2 sub sets – England ; Britain and other nations) Tudors and Stuarts (2 sub sets – Tudors ; Stuarts) Industrial Revolution (and farming etc – 3 sub sets: 1694 to 1803; 1803 to 1846; 1851 to 1901 Britain (and the world) c1714 to c1900 (3 sub sets: Britain and the World; Politics and Reform ; Society and Culture Britain in the 20th century (2 sub sets – Britain in the 20th century; Britain and the world) There are also resources on KS2 topics
