The stories of Robin Hood are entrenched in the countryside around Sherwood Forest. Draw a map of the forest, using your imagination to locate the different castles, woods and homes.
Write your own new adventure for Robin Hood and his Merry Men.
Although the adventures of Robin Hood are considered to be legends, they are located in a real place: Sherwood Forest, which lies just north of the city of Nottingham, in the Midlands in England. Research Sherwood Forest in the library or on the internet and discover how famous ‘Robin Hood Country’ has become!
Building a home and community in a wood would be pretty difficult. Work out how you would use trees and stones to build a house. What food would you eat? How would you wash? What would you wear? What would you do in the evenings?
Living in a forest with your friends would mean you would have no electricity, running water or computer games! Write a list of ten things you would want to take with you.
Imagine you are a computer-game developer who has been commissioned to design a new game based on The Adventures of Robin Hood.
How would the game look? Design some screens and the packaging for the game.
Who would your heroes and villains be?
What different levels would you have?
What would your weapons and pickups be?
