There are three games and an interactive glossary, each one narrated by Mary Seacole.
The games are:
Meet Mary Seacole: an introduction to Mary Seacole
Herbal Remedy Matching Game: pupils select picture cards so that illustrations relating to Mary Seacole and herbal remedies are correctly paired up
Make a Medicine: correctly match medicine and equipment to treat patients with a variety of complaints
Throughout these resources students will be introduced to new words. You can also download a hand-out version of the glossary from the Resources page.
