To create your Battle of Hastings Who’s Who game, first print out this PDF. Glue the last two pages to thin sheets of cardboard (you could use a cereal box for this) and cut them out to create cards for each character. Then use the sheets below as your gaming boards – you can cross off the characters as you go!
