This active and entertaining first session aims to provide pupils with a clear chronological overview of the last 500 years into which they can insert their knowledge of Queen Elizabeth I, Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth II. Working with a range of types of information, pupils in groups have to respond to statements made about the three monarchs, ringing a bell if true and a whistle if false. (Chronology, Significance)
