Before students play the game BBC Primary History - Time Capsules: Victorians. 

Ask them what objects can be found in a capsule from Victorian times. After they read the introduction ask them to choose a capsule and answer the question about this time period to open it.

Play the game (either at the lesson or at home), if played at the lesson ask your students to share the screen and discuss the game as you go.Read the instructions of the game together and make sure everything is clear.
