Second World War School Workshops

World War 2 Workshop

The day typically unfolds after listening to Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain’s speech of September 1939 on a period wireless set, and identifying the enemy’s flag. We explore life on the Home Front, the reasons behind the conflict, Hitler’s rise to power, Winston Churchill, identifying friend and foe,, life during the Blitz, rationing, Air Raid procedures, technological advancements during the war, and the Final Solution. All with hundreds of artefacts, roleplay, and mystery object identification. We provide individual background character sheets for every student for exploration of various second World War topics – over 30 unique character cards, all different, with 1930s names / WW2 detective game. We end the day with our very special ‘Home Guard Training Course’ . A truly memorable day!
