Recommended Games

Engaging classroom games mapped to NSW Stage 1 Geography and History outcomes, ready to play on iPads or the interactive whiteboard. This is recommended for students who have a short attention span, work better in groups etc.

Games Links: 

Wordwall “past and present” games: quick sorting games other teachers have made, some about communication then and now. Use these for the communication part. They’re the only ones on this list you can embed so they play on your page. 

Minecraft Education Egypt Toybox: a world with five lessons on pyramids, daily life and ancient Egypt. It suits your “Recommended Games” image, but it needs a Minecraft Education login through your school. The lessons are pitched a little above Stage 1, so it works best teacher-led. 

Aligned with the NSW HSIE K–6 syllabus

Our resources are developed in Sydney to meet outcome HS1-GEO-01, helping Years 1–2 students explore how people connect to and care for places, water environments, and each other using authentic geographical inquiry and outcome HS1-HIS-01, helping students describe the ancient past and changes in communication over time, using stories, images, objects and sites as evidence.

Flexible delivery for every classroom

Use these tools as complete standalone virtual field trips to transport students across Australia without leaving the classroom, or deploy them as essential orientation tasks prior to an excursion. Every resource fosters curiosity, spatial awareness, and responsible environmental connection.
