How did the Tudor monarchs and the people of England celebrate Christmas. What was it like to live under Henry VIII, Edward, Mary I and Elixabeth I during Christmas> This three-page history worksheet explains the ways that people in Tudor England celebrated Christmas. It includes information on food, entertainment and the religious celebrations happened at that time. From stuffed peacocks to Christmas sports, student will learn where some of our current traditions come from and learn of others that have been lost along the way. It was orginally designed for year 8 students in the UK system (aged 12-13) but has been used very successfully in lower years as well.
The students complete the activities integrated into the sheet including, comprehension activities and questions, 'draw your own feast', design a banquet and write the diary of a rich person at Christmas. It might also be an nice idea for extending thinking to get some students to consider what the servants day may have been like instead.
