Finding out more about Henry VIII

A lesson plan with a set of activities to help children discover more about Henry VIII. In a dynamic starter activity, each child is given a simple fact about the Tudor king and has to find out as many of the other facts as possible! Children then match portraits of Henry to their descriptions, and place them in chronological order.

Detailed teaching notes include a hot-seating activity in which children interview the Venetian ambassador to Henry's court. Answers to the portrait activity are also included.

Suitable for KS2.
