Free Year 3 History Lesson Plans for Teachers

Two in-depth Year 3 history lessons: Stone Age to Iron Age, and Ancient Egypt. These are the classic starting points of Key Stage 2 history, covering British prehistory and one of the earliest civilisations studied in depth.

Both lessons align to the KS2 programme of study in the England National Curriculum, which names changes in Britain from the Stone Age to the Iron Age as a required study and Ancient Egypt as a depth study option among the earliest civilisations. Each deck builds chronological understanding with timelines, artefacts and enquiry questions, presented as slides you can teach from directly.

Open either deck in Chalkie to reshape it for your class: extend the timeline work, add a local prehistoric site, or regenerate the activities. Teachers typically split each deck across a sequence of Year 3 history lessons, using the slides as the spine of the unit and saving hours of planning.
