Return of the Romans!

The live TV show Return from the Past is in danger of being cancelled and needs your help! Faced with some unhelpful contestants from Roman Britain and the sudden arrival of Queen Boudicca, can your children save the show?

Two facilitators visit your school with a small set, props and costumes. The presenter of Return from the Past needs to create an exciting TV game show with special guests from Roman Britain. 

There are many interactive elements as the students help solve Roman related activities to save the show.
