The Queen's Platinum Jubilee 2022
Let's celebrate! In 2022, Her Majesty The Queen became the first British monarch to reign for 70 years. All over the United Kingdom and Commonwealth we celebrated her Platinum Jubilee over a special bank holiday weekend, from 2nd to 5th June.
Activity Village has many ideas and resources to help you celebrate this tremendous royal occasion and our wonderful Queen! We've got something for everyone here, from youngest child to your oldest great granny, including puzzles, colouring, crafts, fun learning activities and printables... just explore below!
Elizabeth Mary Alexandra, born in 1926, became "heir presumptive" at age 10 in 1936 when her uncle, Edward VIII, abdicated and her father became George VI. When her father died in February 1952, she became Queen Elizabeth II at the age of just 25.
In 1947 Elizabeth married Prince Philip and they had four children, King Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward, eight grandchildren, including Prince William and Prince Harry, and twelve great-grandchildren!

Queen Elizabeth's Records
According to the Guinness Book of Records, Queen Elizabeth has set a number of "records". She holds the world record for most currencies featuring the same person. Her Diamond Jubilee celebrations in 2012, when over 1,000 boats formed her flotilla on the river Thames, set a new world record for the number of boats in a parade. Our Queen is also the first British monarch to conducted a royal 'walkabout' and hold a public pop concert in her back garden! And now, of course, she has broken another record with her Platinum Jubilee!
