Give me 3 - Islamic Civilisation - Year 6
History Resource Description
The "Give me 3!" activity is an engaging educational challenge designed for Year 6 students to summarise and recall key aspects of Islamic civilisation. In this task, pupils are prompted to remember three specific details related to a given category. This exercise is a part of a Key Stage summary challenge that aims to consolidate their knowledge of the Islamic Golden Age and its significant contributions to world history and culture. For every correct answer provided, students are rewarded with two points, incentivising them to recall accurate information. The activity is intended to last approximately 15 minutes, providing a quick and focused review session.
One of the categories highlighted in this challenge is the House of Wisdom in Baghdad, an emblematic institution of learning during the Islamic Golden Age. Students might also be asked about the Prophet Muhammad or the Mongolians and their impact on Islamic history. Additionally, the topic of healthcare during the Golden Age may be explored, prompting students to consider why this period is often referred to as a pinnacle of early Islamic civilisation. Through this activity, pupils are encouraged to reflect on the rich history of Islamic achievements and their lasting influence on the modern world.
