Robin Hood Videos

Robin Hood is great way into British history as pupils can build on their prior knowledge of the character. If you are working on Robin Hood as part of a medieval theme, with the Robin Hood Festival in Nottingham, or as a theatre activity, these videos provide vocabulary help and food for thought.

This one-minute video about the Robin Hood pageant in Nottingham each October has no dialogue or voiceover. It's ideal for introducing or reinforcing vocabulary when working on a Robin Hood or medieval theme. Jousting, horses, archery, bows and arrows, swords…. it's all there! A1+

This short video shows a little more of Nottingham and adds a small amount of dialogue. A good second step. A1+

Robbing the Rich to Heat the Poor
And round off the theme with this short advert for Robin Hood energy, a not-for-profit energy supplier run by Nottingham City Council to help low-income citizens. The language is easy enough for A2 and pupils should be able to formulate why Robin Hood is a good name for this not-for-profit energy company.
