African Kings and Queens KS2-Six Week Lesson Plan

Powerful kingdoms. Remarkable rulers. A continent with centuries of stories to tell.

From Amanirenas, the warrior queen of Kush, to Mansa Musa of Mali, whose wealth and scholarship left a lasting legacy, African kings and queens helped shape the history of their societies and the wider world.

This six-week pack introduces children aged 7–11 to six rulers, one each week. Through historical enquiry, geography, debate and creative writing, pupils explore African kingdoms and empires, their achievements and the evidence that helps us understand them.
