Wise Ark - Supporting learning
Word search + mini quiz
A more challenging version of the always popular activity (even for adults!)
Each set contains 10 different word searches on a variety of topics from that period; each has a grid and 10 words to find.
However first you need to use the slightly cryptic clue to work out what word you are searching for.
Each word search & quiz comes in three different versions (the answers are the same each time);
Each 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 in a wide range of settings such as a last minute cover resource or homework task

Developing chronological knowledge and understanding
Sets of linked resources and activities to help students improve their understanding of the sequencing of 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.
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 are also used for a set of sorting challenges :
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’ where each card has an event and a date that links to another event -so making a sequence of events.
