A more challenging version of the always popular activity (even for adults!) There are3 different word searches on Britain in the 20th century. Each wordsearch has a grid and 10 words to find. However first you need to use the clues (questions) to work out what word you are searching for. Each word search & quiz comes in five different versions (the answers are the same each time); Each has the same clues but one also has the first letter of the answer; one has the number of numbers in the answer and one has both the first letter and number of letters; one has ‘just’ the questions whilst there is also a ‘traditional’ version with no questions and a list of words provided. Ideal for use in a wide range of settings such as a last-minute cover resource or homework task (good for getting students to organise their own time) Maybe even to help staff relax at lunchtime!!

The first is a set of printable ‘cards’ which can be used for sorting or matching tasks (such as the matching pairs game) – each person is on a separate ‘card’ from their achievement (organised in sets of 10). The second is a set of ‘domino cards’ to provide a more supported matching challenge; each card has a person and an achievement that links to another person -so making a sequence of people and achievements.

Stone Age to Iron Age Britain : Developing chronological awareness- Power point

(0)
A resource designed specifically to help students in particular with the ordering of events. This version focuses on Ancient British history.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 six 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.
