Two 20/30 minutes assemblies which discuss the origins of Halloween and the Gunpowder Plot. Both contain short clips telling the stories of the 2 events, and a quiz which gets the students involved in the stories. The assemblies both contain advice about how to stay safe on Halloween and Bonfire Night. They are suitable for KS1 and 2, and also KS3 (years 7 and 8)

These wordsearches and quizzes can be used as a fun activity in the classroom at tutorial time or in lessons. Pupils have to find the answers to questions about Christmas and then locate the answers in the grid. They are suitable for all ages but best for KS1-3. The Christmas in 21 European languages is more challenging and perhaps better suited to KS2-5. They take about 20 -30 minutes and can be done either individually or as team building group challenges.
