Creative Teaching History in the Primary Classroom

The concept of creativity presented in this book is one of connecting different frames of reference to create humour, discovery or works of art. It is about opening the mind to perceive things in alternative ways.

The concept of creative teaching similarly is about using those connections to help children learn through a range of representations, teaching approaches and activities, which enable children to be active agents in their own learning.

Through being in role in approaches such as storytelling, drama, simulations and songs, they experience aspects of past historical situations as ‘players in the game’. In this sense, both children and teachers are being creative. 


Creative Teaching English in the Early Years and Primary Classroom
