The Quest for…The Maya Civilisation

Subject: History

Age Group: KS2

Region: London/Greater London, North West, West Midlands

Journey around the Maya city-state of Palenque through this engaging KS2 drama workshop. Your pupils will learn about the people, religion and culture of this ancient civilisation and consider what eventually led to its collapse.

The facilitator is in role as the Time Traveller, guiding your pupils through challenges and tasks related to the topic. Through this workshop, the children will have the perfect opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and will earn the opportunity to graduate as Time Travellers themselves!

Children loved this session and were taking what they had learnt from this out into the playground during their break times and were creating their own Mayan games.
