Find out how you can discover more about history in your area.
Hel Hanes is a collection of three local history games for pupils aged 7-11 (Key Stage 2). Each activity encourages the user to look around them and explore the wealth of history on their doorstep.
The three activities are:
Dilyn Dy Drwyn (Follow Your Nose)
Uncover the facts around eight real-life events in the company of your canine sidekick S182 - the hound with his nose to the ground.
Use your dogged determination to gather historical clues from a variety of sources, sniff out the evidence and establish exactly what happened.
Achubwch Fi (Save Me)
Take part in a television panel show and decide how best to rescue two rundown historical buildings. Should the dilapidated castle be restored or refurbished? And will the World War II prison camp become a leisure complex or a visitor attraction?
Listen to the studio experts - then make up your own mind!
Trwy'r Ffenest (Through the Window)
What's through your window? From canals and crofts to mines and motorways, this is your chance to find out more about eight different features of the landscape.
Check-out archive film footage, explore photographs close-up and test yourself with rapid-fire quizzes where correct answers will allow you to collect more interesting historical facts.
