Who is who - Famous people

In this engaging Year 1 retrieval task, young learners are presented with a fun and educational challenge to identify famous personalities. The activity is structured as a 'Who is who?' game, where children are shown a series of numbered images and given a list of well-known figures to match with the correct number. The list includes a mix of individuals from various walks of life, such as the talented musician Gary Barlow, the entertaining TV duo Ant and Dec, the heir to the British throne Prince Charles, and the UK's Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

Other notable figures include the pioneering nurse Florence Nightingale, the inspiring footballer and philanthropist Marcus Rashford, the long-reigning monarch Queen Elizabeth II, and the Formula One racing sensation Lewis Hamilton. Students are tasked with placing the appropriate number against each name, testing their recognition skills. They have 15 minutes to complete the task, with each correct answer earning them two points. This activity not only helps with memory retrieval but also introduces young students to significant historical and contemporary figures, contributing to their general knowledge.
