This fabulous CHILDREN IN HISTORY quiz card game includes individual cards of forty children throughout history, who have helped change the world and the lives of those around them. Each card is fantastically illustrated to represent the specific Child Hero and shows their dates, their flag of birthplace and seven memorable and often moving facts about them.
History Heroes’ Children range from leaders, such as the ‘boy king’, Tutankhamun, Joan of Arc and the Dalai Lama to campaigners, such as Malala Yousafzai, the nineteenth century Match girls and America’s civil rights campaigner, Claudette Colvin, who, aged 15, led her own protest on a bus against segregation in Alabama nine months before Rosa Park’s famous stand for equal rights. Child prodigy performers and artists such as Mozart and Picasso rub shoulders with Shirley Temple and Stevie Wonder. Children, who led extraordinary lives, such as Laura Ingalls Wilder, Helen Keller, Victor of Aveyron & Mary Anning mingle with Child heroes, who simply ‘made’ history: Lady Jane Grey, the Princes in the Tower, Victor of Aveyron, Louise Brown…the game contains an extraordinary, inspirational range of boys and girls in history.
There are many different ways of playing History Heroes’ Children card game and you can make up your own rules as long as everyone playing agrees to them! The aim is simple: you win the game by winning the cards and you win the cards by guessing/knowing the facts. You can use the images as clues and you can use the different levels of facts to make it as easy or as hard as you want to play the game. You can also play the game at different levels within the game so that all ages and stages can play together. The green facts are the easiest working down to the red facts, the most difficult. You can, of course, use the joker fact at the bottom, too, to overrule them all!

Written by Bespoke Verse poet Joanna Miller, this poem has featured in magazines such as ‘Wedding Ideas’ and ‘Unique Bride’. In 2013 she won the Wedding Industry Experts Award for ‘Best Wedding Writer.’ The eye-catching typographic design was the creation of Russet and Gray.

The text reads:
What is a Marriage?
It’s loving & cherishing, hopefully relishing
It’s hosting & toasting & Sunday roasting
It’s having & holding, the odd little scolding
It’s guessing, confessing & nightly undressing
It’s trying, relying, a little white lying
It’s snoring, adoring, occasionally boring
It’s enduring, alluring & most reassuring
It’s knowing & showing, & mutually growing
It’s compliment giving & always forgiving
It’s sharing & caring & dressing gown wearing
It’s walking, it’s talking & bottle uncorking
It’s tender supporting & raucous cavorting
It’s secret confiding & shoulder providing
It’s readily praising & often amazing
It’s loving, respecting & calmly accepting
It’s cleaning, it’s mopping, it’s waltzing & bopping
It’s needing, conceding & possibly breeding
It’s playing & paying, it’s coping & staying
It’s comfort when weeping, a warm body sleeping
It’s lives interweaving & always believing
That’s what makes a marriage.

WHAT IS A GRANDPARENT?
A hugger, a kisser, a grandchild misser
A laugher, a crafter, a fun looker-after
A trusted adviser, indulgent surpriser
A listening ear & a fair refereer
A carer, a sharer, a sometimes grey-hairer
A school gate collector, a ringer & texter
A crossword completer & roast dinner eater
A writer, delighter, a stay the nighter
A traveller, talker & leisurely walker
A best friend & mentor, a clever inventor
A ‘what-do-you-sayer?’ & board game player
A generous payer & photo displayer
A newspaper reader, an ‘oh yes indeeder’
A godsend to mother, a garden lover
A debater, relater, a cold weather hater
A picker-upper, a pop round for supper
A thinker, a winker, a cup of tea drinker
A mender, a sender, a coaxer & lender
A free taxi driver & slipper of fiver
A pleaser, a teaser, affectionate squeezer
That’s what makes a grandparent!

A Recipe for Marriage
A pinch of understanding
A tablespoon of trust
A drop of fun and flattery
And a smattering of lust.
A teaspoon of adventure
A heap of hopes and wishes
An ounce or two of thoughtfulness
And a scoop of hugs and kisses.
A grain or two of constancy
A dash of admiration
A slice of friends and family
And a cup of conversation.
A dollop of devotion
A soupcon of surprise
A bunch of boring household chores
And a spot of compromise.
A drizzling of honesty
A sprinkling of laughter
A splash of patience and support
Makes… a Happy Ever After!

WHAT IS A GARDENER?
A sower, a grower, a latin name knower
A nurturer, reaper, a tidy lawn keeper
A seeder, a feeder, a determined weeder
A border designer, a seedling aligner
A researcher, a planner, a lawn mower manner
A greenhouse potter, a staker & knotter
A welly wearer & love of fresh airer
A potterer, toiler, a keen top soiler
A harvester, snipper, a log & branch chipper
A landscaper, lopper, a well-equipped chopper
A sprinkler, spader, a plant in the shader
A vicious deadheader & shaper of bedder
A forker, a clearer, a sprayer & shearer
A mulcher, a flowerer, it looks like a showerer
A raker, a hoer, an autumn leaf blower
A composter, wirer, and sometimes bonfirer
A border maintainer, a planter & drainer
A kneeler, a bender, a builder & mender
A slug resister & nature assister
A ground cover lover & old garden glover
That’s what makes a Gardener!

A witty and affectionate grandparent poem about grandmothers and grandfathers and the things they do for us.
Our funny and heartfelt A4 grandparent print makes the perfect gift - whether it's for a birthday, christmas, mother's day, father's day or even for newly becoming a grandmother or grandfather!
The poem was written by award-winning Bespoke Verse poet Joanna Miller.
The poem is printed on the highest quality card which measures H30 x W21cm (A4). It is unframed and presented smartly in cellophane with backing board behind. The text/font colour is taupe. The print is also available with light blue text.
The text reads:
WHAT IS A GRANDPARENT?
A hugger, a kisser, a grandchild misser
A laugher, a crafter, a fun looker-after
A trusted adviser, indulgent surpriser
A listening ear & a fair refereer
A carer, a sharer, a sometimes grey-hairer
A school gate collector, a ringer & texter
A crossword completer & roast dinner eater
A writer, delighter, a stay the nighter
A traveller, talker & leisurely walker
A best friend & mentor, a clever inventor
A ‘what-do-you-sayer?’ & board game player
A generous payer & photo displayer
A newspaper reader, an ‘oh yes indeeder’
A godsend to mother, a garden lover
A debater, relater, a cold weather hater
A picker-upper, a pop round for supper
A thinker, a winker, a cup of tea drinker
A mender, a sender, a coaxer & lender
A free taxi driver & slipper of fiver
A pleaser, a teaser, affectionate squeezer
That’s what makes a grandparent!
