ABSTRACT

The innovative Creative History Activity Packs series is designed to help teachers bring history topics to life through imaginative creative arts activities. Each pack includes ten laminated, double-sided cards, printed in full color. Each card describes in detail activities that recreate aspects of life in a particular historical period, using art, drama and dance. Each activity is based on historically researched authentic practices of the time. Ideal for whole class or small group sessions, the packs are an inspiration for busy teachers looking for new ways to approach project work at Key Stage 2 - and are easily applicable for Key Stage 1 classes.

Tudor activities in this pack include creating clove pomanders and soap balls; painting miniatures to mount as jewelry; making your own ink and writing a Tudor menu; making a miniature book for herbs, recipes or prayers; Tudor recipe ideas; and structured outlines for drama and dance.
