Teaching tips
Pair with a brief retelling or reading about Hercules' myth, since the worksheet names each labour but does not describe it
Divide the twelve boxes among small groups or table teams so each group researches and illustrates a subset of labours
Have students look up what each labour involved before illustrating it, since only the name of each task is given

Mythology recall — students identify the twelve already-labeled labours assigned to Hercules.
