Activities Index
I have put together a brand new page for the Interactive Games and Activities on the site, listing the most popular four activities per year group.

Perhaps the defining reason why the Renaissance took off in Italy, the Siege of Constantinople is also a great story. This activity gets the narrative across in a suitably exciting way. Complete with suggested classroom / homework activities.

Liberal Britain: Simulation adventure
This popular game, central to the GCSE history syllabus, has been reprogrammed to run more smoothly in the Firefox browser. Several pages have been amended to add extra detail in response to visitor feedback.
Revolutionary Russia: The Provisional Government
Three new worksheets: The Provisional Government: Introduction The Provisional Government: Detailed Analysis and The October Revolution Conclusion: Comparing the Revolutions
World War One Simulation: Life in the Trenches
This simulation allows students to take on the role of an ordinary soldier and take a series of decisions covering the whole period 1914-1918. I have streamlined the programming of this popular activity so that it should now run more quickly and provide more detailed feedback to students studying this central modern history topic.
