Exploring the Maya civilization

A comprehensive PowerPoint covering key aspects of ancient Maya civilization: religion, culture, family life and architecture. Children learn about Maya writing and the number system, as well as Maya gods, buildings, clothing and even ball games! Lots of photographs are included to help stimulate discussion.

The PowerPoint is supported by an accompanying set of worksheets which provide a wide range of activities with cross-curricular links. Children carry out independent research, label a map of Central America, complete city fact files, design their own Maya clothing and much more besides. Finally, they compare their own life to that of a Maya child.

This is a must-have resource for a KS2 topic on Maya civilization!
