Votes for Women Workshop
This exciting and absorbing workshop introduces the important topic of women’s struggle to get the vote in an age-appropriate way. It is suitable for both upper KS2 and KS3 students.
The day begins with an overview of the women’s suffrage movement and some of the key events and people, before students complete fun activities to consider some of the reasons women were denied the vote and deciding whether they would have been a suffragist or suffragette.
Other activities across the day include:
- Discover fascinating facts in a suffrage quiz.
- Learn to write and break code like the suffragettes.
- Discover the ways in which the suffragettes protested and see their weapons of choice.
- Suffragettes In & Out of Prison game.
The day will end with a march around your hall or playground with banners the students will have made representing their views, and the chance to shout some slogans from the time! There will also be time to reflect on the importance of this movement for the rights of women everywhere.
The workshop can be run as a 2 hour morning or afternoon session, or as a full day.
