Children of the Benin Kingdom: Character Trait Matching Activity Differentiated

Pupils examine the personality of Ada and other characters in this differentiated character trait matching exercise.

Pupils match the main characters from Children of the Benin Kingdom by Dinah Orji with character traits and evidence from the text.

The quotes from the text have been provided, alongside the character traits and definitions.

This resource has been differentiated three ways:
• Higher ability: 10 characters, quotes and character traits have been provided.
• Middle ability: 10 characters, quotes and character traits with their definitions have been provided.
• Lower ability: 7 characters, quotes and character traits with their definitions have been provided.

This activity is a great way for pupils to think carefully about how a character’s personality is revealed by what they do and how they react in a story. This gives pupils an opportunity to use their inference skills.

An answer sheet has been included.

All resources come in easily editable Word format and as PDFs.
