The Blitz: When Bombs Fell on Britain (Lesson Plan)

Elective Home Education (EHE) gives you the freedom to shape learning around your child’s interests, pace, and preferred ways of exploring the world. Our lesson plans are created with that in mind—structured to offer helpful guidance, yet flexible enough to follow wherever your learner’s curiosity takes them. Each plan includes reading, discussions, hands-on tasks, creative activities, and ideas for extending learning.

Think of these plans as starting points, not strict schedules. One of the best things about home education is the opportunity to pause, dig deeper, or head off in unexpected directions. If your learner becomes especially fascinated by an event, person, or experience from this period—embrace it! Use this plan to encourage meaningful conversations and learning moments. Adapt, skip, or expand activities based on your learner’s interests, energy, and age.

This lesson plan is designed to go with our Info Zone topic on The Blitz: When Bombs Fell on Britain.
