Activities
ABOUT THIS SECTION Here you will find a number of worksheets
and activities that you can use with your class in the British Galleries.
The activities focus on History and Art and Design but also contain
many strong cross-curricular threads. The activities can be adapted
for both primary and secondary school students. Each activity provides
ideas for:
- Preparation work at school
- Activities to do in the Museum
- Follow-up work back in the classroom.
Downloadable worksheets relating to each gallery task are available
on this site and will help pupils record information in the Museum.
Each activity also includes detailed supporting information and
associated images.
