Competition
Draw a character from the past!
Competitions are a G.R.E.A.T. way to create excitement for your Book Fair.
Enter our Horrible Histories competition by asking your pupils to get creative … and they could win some truly terrific prizes!
The prizes
- A Nintendo DS and Horrible Histories: Ruthless Romans game.
- A Horrible Histories Prize Pack including signed books, notepads, a magnet and keyring.
- A Horrible Histories TV series 1 DVD.
The challenge
Imagine your pupils had a time machine. Where would they go and who would they meet?
To be in with a chance of winning the prizes, set imaginations to ‘history’ and ask your pupils to draw a character from the past. It could be a vile Victorian, a terrible Tudor, a rotten Roman … or even a dreadful dinosaur! The most horribly historic picture will win!
