Link Ancient Sumer, Ancient Egypt, Shang Dynasty, and the Indus Valley to the World Map - Worksheet - Year 4

This worksheet for Year 4 students serves as an educational resource to connect ancient civilisations to their geographical locations on a world map. The task requires pupils to identify and link four of the earliest great civilisations—Ancient Sumer, Ancient Egypt, the Shang Dynasty, and the Indus Valley—to specific areas on the map. This activity not only enhances students' understanding of history but also aims to improve their geographical knowledge and map-reading skills.

The worksheet further encourages curiosity and inquiry by prompting students to explore who lived in the Indus Valley and what is known about them, as well as to gather information about other significant civilisations of the same era. This comparative approach helps children to develop a broader perspective on the diversity and complexity of ancient societies, their cultural achievements, and their contributions to world history. The worksheet is designed by Focus Education (UK) Ltd, with the intention of making history interactive and engaging for young learners.
