An educational, fast and fun card game to help educate students about the Egyptian Book of the Dead. All cards are based on the real gods, monsters, spells and events found in the Book of the Dead scriptures. All images on the cards are contemporary images, and most from the Book of the Dead scriptures. The aim of the game is to collect 5 chapter cards - key events in the deceased’s journey through the netherworld - before the other players. The various gods, monsters and spells can help and hinder this aim. All cards and instructions are included, including a document containing smaller cards, to save on printing. All you need to do is print out the cards and instructions, mark the cards that are lightning cards (see instructions) and then hand the cards out to pupils (ideally 2-5 in a group) to play! If needed, you are welcome to edit the cards or instructions to make it more suitable to your pupils etc.

Inspired by the British Museum’s ‘The History of the World in 100 Objects’, these three lessons take 20 of those objects and use them to examine global history, from prehistory to the 21st century. Skills covered in the activities given include peer assessment, geography, inferencing and analysis. There is also a homework task and a quiz to assess pupil’s own knowledge. This will hopefully provide a good introduction to the subject of History and historical skills, particularly when inferencing and arguing significance. All resources needed are inclulded.

I put together this information booklet primarily for revision, however it could be used for the general study of Lagos and Nigeria for AQA’s GCSE spec. The booklet covers general information on demographics, climate and economy, as well as looking at case studies, such as Makoko and the Eko Project. Alongside the booklet are a series of questions, to help the students revise, develop own knowledge or to be adapted to use in the classroom. I hope you find this helpful - the resources used and links to the images are available in the booklet as well.

The lesson ends with some plenary questions and a discussion as to why it is important to study ancient mythology. All resources needed are included.

4 lessons (or 3 lessons and a homework piece) looking at the history and geography of the Congos, primarily the Democratic Republic of Congo. Topics include: society in the Kingdom of Kongo before Europeans arrived, the influence of Europeans, the rise of the slave trade, its impact on the Congo and finally the forced labour, conflicts and politics of 20th century Congo.

Specially made for Black History Month, these two lessons focus on 5 individuals who fought for the abolition of slavery, both in America and in Britain. A range of class activities allow pupils to be creative, discuss their views and develop their knowledge of abolitionists. These lessons also cover reasons why abolishing slavery was such a challenge and what might be done to end modern slavery. A piece of homework is also set at the end of the second lesson. As these lessons focus on the abolition of slavery, pupils should have at least some prior knowledge on the Atlantic slave trade and the abhorrent treatment slaves faced. I have also put a case study on Harriet Tubman on Tes for free, however it is not part of a complete lesson.
