2024 Queensland History Week
20 May – 24 May 2024
WELCOME TO QHTA HISTORY WEEK
The Queensland History Teachers Association is thrilled to extend an open invitation to everyone to join us in celebrating and promoting History Week 2024. This exciting event will take place from 20-24 May 2024. History Week is a fantastic opportunity to showcase the opportunity of history in our communities and schools. As part of our efforts QHTA will be hosting webinars promoting history in schools through downloadable activities and resources and co-hosting the History TeachMeet.
Some of the events schools have hosted in the past during History Week are:
- dress up in historical costumes / as historical figures
- archaeological digs
- photo booth
- historical games / craft
- treasure hunt
- kahoot version of quizzes
Student History Week Activities
Can we ask that schools/teachers who use these resources take pictures or provide feedback on the swap and share facebook page using the #HistoryWeekAust tag. If you incorporate other activities we would love to hear about these and see photos. Upload to social media and/or email qhta@qhta.com.au so we can see that is happening in schools and maybe include in our 2024 publications.
