A couple of weeks ago I shared the Russian (1905-24) question and answer cards that I made for my daughter to use with her IGCSE History revision – a LOT of people have downloaded them so I thought I would also share the set of question and answer cards that I made for her Superpower relations (Cold War) topic.

The reason why I started making her question and answer cards was just because I struggled to find this type of resource for our History topics. There are so many revision resources for the Science subjects but when it comes to History there were just not basic revision cards that she could use to test her knowledge.

This is not meant to take the place of practice questions this is what we use to test that she knows the facts and details so that she can then write a good detailed answer.

There are 142 questions in the pack so it is quite detailed and covers all of the sections needed for the Superpower topic.

There are no cute pictures or fancy colours. To be honest it took me quite a while to create this so I really was not going to spend even more time trying to make it pretty, plus at this stage I think we don’t need to worry about all of that and I did not want to wast money on printing 36 pages of colourful cards.

The idea behind the print out is you cut the strips out and then glue the two sides together so that you end up with a question on one side and the answer on the other side.

I have saved it as a pdf so if anyone wants to download and use the cards with your kids you are welcome to do that. However I must state this is something that I created so it is not for anyone to post on their website (you are welcome to include a link back to this post) and you may NOT try and sell them as your own cards.

My daughter uses these cards quite a bit – she has them split up into smaller sections in a draw and from time to time she goes back and uses them to test for knowledge.

I hope that the cards will be helpful to a few other students.

For those of you wondering what resources we used for our Superpower topic – our main student book was this one – Edexcel IGCSE History – A World divided: Superpower Relations

I did also make her some mini timelines for this section which are free to download – Cold War timelines
