Layout of the classroom

There are only two desks in front of the board. There are 3 bowls on each of them. In the first one are the pictures, in the second one – the years and in the third one– the names. Half the desks are from the one side of the classroom and the rest on the other side. In two lines facing each other. (Not one behind the other).

Phase 1

The teacher divides the class into two equal teams (10 students per team, if the class is 20 children i.e.)

Each team has a cardboard with the family tree of Krum’s dynasty. Some years and names are written on the cardboard. The students from each team have to fill in the missing ones – pictures, years and names of the rulers.

 Phase 2

The game goes as a competition.

The students from each team are in a column one behind the other. When the teacher gives a signal, the students of each team one by one go to the bowls with the rulers. They return to their team and they put the picture of the ruler on the family tree. If they have difficulties, the others help.

Phase 3

When all pictures are placed on the family tree, the students from each team go to the bowl with the names of the rulers.

After that the students do the same with the sheets with the period of rule.

Phase 4

When all elements of the family tree are placed on the cardboard, the teams check if everything is in order. If they’re sure, they glue on/stick all pictures and sheets with the glue.

Each team can decorate the family tree.

The team who orders the family tree fast and correctly wins the game.
