Bring the Golden Age of Ancient Greece to life in your classroom with our ever popular Glorious Ancient Greeks workshop!

First launched in 2014, this is an exciting, interactive morning workshop covering many key National Curriculum objectives. Having worked with more than 52,000 school children with many repeat bookings, you can be sure that Makers of History will bring you an unforgettable workshop to deliver the best learning experience possible.

Penelope is facing a dilemma – she is the daughter of an Athenian lady and a Spartan soldier and has to choose which city to live in! Both are highly important and powerful city-states of Ancient Greece, but very different – and she needs the children’s help! As she works with your class through the morning, she outlines what life is like in both cities, so that they can help her decide.  She covers the following sessions:

  • Artefact handling, amazing Athenian achievements & landmarks
  • What’s the big deal with democracy?
  • Consulting the Oracle – children play a game to find out what lies ahead in Ancient Greece.
  • Growing up in Sparta
  • What makes a Good Spartan Hoplite?
  • Authentic weapons and armour. Dress a child as a soldier
  • Play the authentic Greek board game of Achilles and Ajax
  • Children craft a clay souvenir of Ancient Greece

Makers of History workshops are packed with role-play, costume, artefacts, hands-on activities, crafts and games to ensure the children experience a fun-filled, memorable morning! All sessions take place in the classroom, so there’s no need to reserve Hall space. Never wasting a minute, sessions last from straight after Registration until a few minutes before lunch time. I bring all the equipment needed too – you can relax & enjoy the morning! I am a qualified historian and professional workshop provider, well-known across the North West for heritage education work at schools and museums over the last 17 years. I have an enhanced DBS on the update service and Public Liability Insurance. All workshops are very reasonably priced and easy to book, please contact me for more information.

What People Say

“Just wanted to thank you for another excellent Greek workshop today. As ever, it all ran like an incredibly well-oiled machine, and the variety of activities, humour and lively presentation ensured that lots of useful learning took place and fostered the children’s love of history. Many thanks once again, I’m looking forward to another visit next year.”
Bridgewater School, Worsley
“Excellent Greek workshop – same as last year. The children really enjoyed it, with a range of activities which kept them engaged – dressing up, artefacts, games, acting. It covered lots of learning! We will book again for next year.”
Woodland CP School, Heywood
Very engaging and hands on. The children loved it and all objectives that Alison said would be covered were covered. We will definitely bear you in mind for future workshops. You were amazing with the children and teachers. Your activities were thoroughly planned and prepared, each morning was an excellent Greek experience for our Year 3 and 4 classes.

“The children had very little prior knowledge and this workshop has been a great resource to hook them into our current topic. Fantastic. We will use this company again.”
