Today, you're stepping back over 2,500 years - into the world of the Ancient Greeks.We can visit your school in: East Midlands, West Midlands, London & South East, East of England, South West
In our Ancient Greeks Experience Day, children have the opportunity to "be part of the story" as they role-play and act out myths, legends and historical events throughout the day.
Participation is light-hearted and fast paced as the difference scenes and activities weave throughout the day.
In our Ancient Greeks Experience Day your pupils will step back 2,500 years in time to the world of the Hellenes (ancient Greeks).
They will:
- Learn about some of the myths, including the war of the Greek Gods vs the Titans, and the famous tale of Prometheus and his punishment for stealing fire for mankind.
- Discover some of the Polis, or city states, in the Hellenistic world including Athens and Sparta.
- Learn about democracy and how it played out in Athenian society.
- See real (replica) Ancient Greek weapons and armour
- Get to participate in activities including phalanx drill, games and role-play throughout the day.
Plus, much more...
In our Ancient Greek Experience Day Pupils will be transported back to ancient Greece and discover some of the reasons why, how and when their culture developed the way it did.
Some of the aspects covered in the day include:
- The isolation created by mountains
- The length of coastline
- Climate
- Farming including types of crop
Plus, much more...
Our days are aimed to be fun and engaging for all. Our only requirement is that you/your organisation provide the relevant staffing and equipment needed to facilitate any individual's participation. You must also be aware that we will be bringing various props and equipment with us that are integral to the content of the day. Many of these can cause injury if used incorrectly. Therefore, safety and safeguarding is of upmost concern and we may not be able to deliver a day if behaviour is dangerous or staffing levels are insufficient.
- Designed for learning, not just entertainment
Every experience day is carefully structured to support KS2 history objectives, encouraging enquiry, discussion, and critical thinking alongside enjoyment.
- Immersive, full-day experiences
We don't deliver short workshops or assemblies. Each visit is a complete day of learning, allowing pupils time to explore ideas in depth and fully engage with the period.
- Led by costumed historical interpreters
Pupils learn from knowledgeable facilitators who bring history to life through storytelling, discussion, and hands-on activities - not scripts or performances.
- Hands-on, object-based learning
Pupils see and handle replica artefacts, tools, weapons, and equipment, helping them make tangible connections with the past.
- Inclusive and adaptable
Our days are designed to be accessible, with flexibility built in to support a wide range of pupils and school settings.
- Clear structure and professional delivery
We work alongside school staff, maintaining high standards of behaviour, safety, and safeguarding throughout the day.
- Experience you can trust
