History begins in Year 1 with the familiar and the concrete, and these Year 1 history worksheets reflect that. The collection covers three popular units: toys past and present, the lives of Florence Nightingale and Mary Seacole, and the Moon landing — giving pupils their first experience of comparing then and now.

The worksheets align with the Key Stage 1 history programme of study in the England National Curriculum, which asks pupils to explore changes within living memory, significant events, and the lives of significant individuals. Activities focus on simple chronology, historical vocabulary such as old, new, before and after, and asking questions about the past.

Teachers typically use these to consolidate a taught unit: print the worksheet after a museum-loan session on old toys, or as a recap at the end of a significant-individuals topic. Downloads are free, and every sheet can be edited in Chalkie to match the exact people or period you teach.
