Thankfully, there are ways to make learners sit up and see history with excitement and real interest and these are as follows:

Conduct criminal investigation-style lessons. Let the participants take on the role of detectives, analyzing the whys and the hows of specific historical situations, creating timelines and personality profiles of those involved. They can do this in pairs or groups.

Let students write in a diary as if they were historical characters. Engage their imagination by letting them role-play an event and write about it journal-style.

Use short video-clips. You can introduce lessons through 3-5 minute film excerpts and follow it up with an interactive question and answer forum.

Organise games. Increase motivation and retention with specially planned and well-researched entertainment that are related with the topic of the day.

Use a combination of these tricks and you will surely see your pupils’ passion for the subject build up again.
