In this activity pupils are introduced to the downloadable board game ‘Road to Runnymede’, a fun way to learn about the key events and personalities in the Magna Carta story. Pupils take on the role of either a rebel baron or King John, racing to gather enough barons to compel or prevent John from having to agree to Magna Carta.
