Ideas over time: electrical inventions

A simple card game that can help children develop an awareness of the history of electricity.

This simple card game can be used when teaching the topic of electricity. The game can help children develop an awareness of the history of electricity and can show how our changing understanding of electricity has affected our day to day lives. We have provided instructions for the game and three sets of ‘cards’ which need to be printed with the product/item on one side and the date on the reverse.

 

NB: following a date error, the third set of cards has been updated. (January 2023)
