In this activity, pupils are prompted to recall three elements related to specific categories associated with the era. It serves as a summary exercise to reinforce their understanding of the significant historical themes and figures from the Tudors' time. The categories might include identifying Tudor monarchs, key explorers of the period, or listing the wives of Henry VIII.

Students have the opportunity to earn points for each correct response, with a total of 2 points awarded for each aspect they correctly identify. The challenge is designed to be completed within a 15-minute timeframe, making it a fast-paced and focused revision task.
