Bring the past to life for your Key Stage 2 (KS2) class with this outdoor history lesson focused on Stone Age cave paintings.

Children will explore images of ancient cave art, discuss the techniques and materials used, and then create their own cave paintings using natural materials.

This hands-on lesson helps children identify what cave paintings tell us about Stone Age life and supports the curriculum link of understanding how historical knowledge is constructed from various sources.

Resources include air-dry clay, charcoal, grass, mud, water, and rocks for natural paints.
