Suitable for multiple classrooms to participate simultaneously.

Legendary Olympics Show

Glory in the legend of Heracles, triumph in his twelve terrible labours and compete in the myth’s great legacy: the ancient Olympic Games. This fast-paced adventure involves roleplay, audience participation and the grisly tales of ancient Olympic athletes. Participants will also have a chance to meet some iconic Greek myths and monsters and defeat them in armed combat! Activity sheets throughout the session encourage creative and thoughtful discussion of ancient civilisations. Duration: 45 minutes.

Suitable for multiple classrooms to participate simultaneously.

Object Handling Session

Get to grips with intricate and beautiful ancient Greek ceramics, deadly weaponry and religious offerings (and more) in your classroom! In this session participants work as curators to investigate the materials, manufacture and myth associated with genuine artefacts, guided by a presenter. The session is structured around activity sheets and interactive roleplay, discussing Greek gods, everyday life, and ancient beliefs. Duration: 45 minutes.

Multiple groups cannot participate simultaneously in this live stream, as the loan box can only be used by one classroom at a time. However, it is possible to book multiple sessions. The loan box will still be delivered if you do not choose this session, to be explored outside of the live stream sessions.
