The lives of three special queens

Children compare the lives of Queen Elizabeth I, Queen Victoria, and Queen Elizabeth II by cutting and sorting significant facts about these three special queens. Encourage your class to become History detectives, using their powers of deduction and historical research skills to match each fact to the correct queen. This is a good opportunity to hone children's ability to use search engines effectively, as they will be looking for very specific facts. You may find it helpful to enlarge the sorting sheet to A3 to give the children plenty of room to arrange facts within the columns.
