This craft and wall mural is going to look fantastic in your classroom, and children are going to love making it! With such a stunning visual display, this event in history is sure to stick in their memories! There are six different house designs for children to choose from, with one, two, or three storeys. Each house comes in 2-4 parts for children to colour and glue together. Then they use tissue, crepe, or coloured paper to add flames. Each child makes one house to contribute to the wall mural. When the houses are all finished, they make a display that’s 4 metres long! There are also signs, and shop labels, as well as a display heading.

Pieter Bruegel the Elder’s painting of “Children’s Games” is one of the best primary sources I’ve come across that give us a little glimpse into the games children played in the past. The painting “Children’s Games” depicted life in the Netherlands in the 1560s. There are over 250 children playing 83 different games. With this activity, in pairs or small groups, children look at a corner of the painting and find the games on a list. They then identify if the game is still played nowadays, and they make guesses about how to play an unfamiliar game in the painting. It’s a fabulous way to bring history alive, with such a relatable topic, and it gets children using a primary source to gather and analyse information from the past. TERMS OF USE This resource is for personal classroom use only. It cannot be altered, distributed, sold, or posted on any other blog, website, or location where people can download it.
