Three ‘Great Lesson Ideas’ for developing primary children’s historical enquiry skills.

In Artefact Pursuit children play a board game which encourages them to ask searching questions about objects from the past. They must also start to generate their own research questions and get research underway using books and the internet.

In Shades of Grey children look at how historical figures shouldn’t be seen in terms of good and bad but in terms of the varied contributions they made to society at the time. The object is for children to also understand that perspectives of characters can change with time.

In Luckiest Historian, Year 5 children build an understanding of the qualities of primary and secondary sources. The teacher uses cards to represent many kinds of historical sources and asks the children to put them in order of usefulness in terms of their reliability and their richness as a historical source. By ordering the sources they start to think about the value of different sources when doing particular historical research.

Looks good from what I saw. However, it stopped halfway and wouldn't play anymore. Does it have anything to do with my watching it in Canada?
