Teacher's Resources

This site is here to provide advance information for your school's upcoming visit to Barkerville. Some of this material is intended for your use in the classroom before your visit, but some of it is also useful during your time in Barkerville, or as followup activities.

BWschoolhouse.jpgExperience has shown that classes visiting Barkerville are able to maximize their learning opportunities if they have been given sufficient classroom preparation.

With this in mind, we have developed three types of materials that deal with specific themes or approaches to learning about Barkerville. The first is Barkerville's Travelling Edukit. This is a large kit of historic artifacts and materials that can be shipped to your school and used in the classroom. Second, we are developing a number of online tutorials and games that your students can access themselves, which are found in our Kid Zone. Finally, there are links below that provide printable activities for use in the classroom and during your visit to Barkerville.

Teachers are encouraged to use this material as a basis for developing their own lesson plans.
