The Feudal System activity

The Feudal System at school! An introduction to the Medieval Feudal System. Use this warm-up activity to introduce students to the Feudal System in the Middle Ages in a creative way as they design their school’s “feudal system”.

After this activity, explaining feudalism will be easier and more meaningful as learners will connect new information to their real-life experiences.

TIP: Before you give your students this worksheet, introduce them to Medieval society teaching them the basics about knights, kings, peasants (villeins / serfs), lords (nobles). Once they have completed this worksheet, they will be ready to understand how the Feudal System worked.

It includes:

1) Students design their school's Feudal System using a pyramid.

2) Students explain why they have designed the pyramid in such way.

3) Students answer some questions related to the use of the pyramid as a shape to illustrate the feudal system and think about the organization of their families.

4) Students complete the Feudal system pyramid

5) Answer key
