Introduction
Age Range: 7-9 years old
History Key Stage 2 (England)

The Walk Through Time website is based on the new BBC series of the same name, but can be used independently to explore streets, people and houses of the Roman, Viking, Tudor, Victorian times and the 1950s. These periods are compared and contrasted using games and activities. The site does not aim to be a comprehensive guide to any one particular period, but rather an exploration of change, development and chronology.
Educational Aims and Objectives
The site supports these Key Stage 2 Study Units:
  • Romans, Anglo-Saxons and Vikings in Britain
    The Odd-One-Out Games and Print-outs provide visual activities exploring the Roman and Viking times in Britain and how people lived on a day-to-day basis.
    The TimeStrip offers the opportunity to explore the personalities of people living in both these and Anglo-Saxon times.
  • Life in Tudor Times
    The Tudor Odd-One-Out Game and Print-outs explore a typical Tudor street in Britain and the different kinds of people and things that could be found there.
    The TimeStrip offers the opportunity to explore the personalities of people living in Tudor times.
  • Victorian Britain
    A typical Victorian street is provided in the Victorian Odd-One-Out Game, and can be used as a starting point for a lesson covering the lives of men, women and children at different levels of society in Britain. It could also provide a starting point for a discussion about changes in industry and transport. Print-outs provide further lesson support.
  • Britain Since 1930 The dramatic changes in everyday life, especially those brought on by technology can be explored in the 1950s Odd-One-Out Game.
