These free education resources are to inspire children aged 5-11 as they explore the different communication methods of the past and present.
There are so many ways to communicate and we explore a few methods in these downloadable, fun and easy learning activities for parents or teachers to do in class or at home.
Communication and language barriers become a thing of the past as we go on a journey using symbols, drawings, paintings and letters to send messages.
From cave paintings and medieval manuscripts to morse code and semaphore (visual signals) - you can teach a whole range of communication techniques with commonly found items at home.
