Instructional Ideas

• A great addition to a unit on family traditions
• Have kids fill out their own coat of arms after discussing symbolism and imagery
• See if your class can fill out a coat of arms about a fictional or historical family, using images to describe their character or impact on history

Classroom Considerations

• Kids will need to see a model of a coat of arms, as the worksheet only provides a basic outline

Pros

• Straightforward and simple for any unit you're covering
• A nice way for learners to get to know each other
• Comes with four different versions of the template (attached)

Cons

• None
