World War 2! Workshop

The Past Presents

School Workshop Online Workshop

trip icon When it comes to what we deliver and how we deliver it, nobody goes the extra mile like we do...

OUR VANS ARE HUGE! ... because we fill them with resources, kit and equipment for you!

OUR SET-UP TIMES ARE LONG! ...because we want to take the time to turn your classroom, hall or playground into Ancient Wonders!

OUR INSTRUCTORS ARE PHYSICALLY FIT! ...because they don't stand and talk; they act, fight, direct, group manage, build and construct alongside your young people.

OUR WORKSHOPS FIT YOUR NEEDS! ... all of our workshops are closely linked to the curriculum and delivered by our instructors who know how to engage young people!

In short....no one will go as far as we do to ensure your young people have the most value from one of our visits!

What activities are available during this school workshop?

Session 1 – WW2 in 20 Minutes! This comic dramatic Intro presentation using only hats and helmets for props explains the major events of WW2 in a whistle-stop tour.

Session 2 – Air Raid Antics: In the role of Air-Raid Wardens, students complete a round robin of activities that highlight the effects of air raids on everyday life in Britain.

Session 3 – Home Guard Heroes: This very active session trains young people as the
heroes of ‘Dads Army’ were trained to prepare for invasion. Some well- known techniques as well as some surprising ones are examined.

Session 4 – Evacuate! Students use their imaginations and a range of props as we conduct a real-time evacuation complete with suitcase bingo and key characters.

Session 5 – The Blitz! One of our signature Finale sessions - we conduct a real-time Air Raid with children working in all the major roles of civil precautions to battle exploding bombs, collapsing buildings, casualties and more!
