Interactive History

12 Sep 2017

Let your pupils learn history through interactive timelines, games and cards!

Our unique interactive resources enables pupils to learn history through sequencing a topic’s timeline and answering a range of topic based questions. The fun and engaging resources allow for competitive and cooperative gameplay and can be played as a single player, in pairs, teams or as a whole class activity using the Teachers’ Classroom Cards and a blank timeline. This Interactive Timeline can be used as a basis for a whole topic; as a starter or plenary activity; or as a wonderful tool to monitor the progression of pupils’ learning as they improve their scores to become ”Champions”.
