We did something for the local historical society that was trying to get
young learners interested in history. With a tiny-teeny grant, we
managed to create The Society of Time Navigators - that would help get
children to think of exploring history as an adventure.
It's a great way of linking local resources to the school mission - and
a wider, life-long appreciation of history as something alive and
relevant.
Check what we came up with:

There are a lot of great ideas in this site - let me know if any
resonate - we'd be glad to share more.
Cheers,

Subject: [k3] interesting history - toys
Here's an interesting way for youngsters to look at history - through
toys --
http://www.mape.org.uk/curriculum/history/toys.htm
Students may be interested to examine these pictures of toys from 1900
to
1999.
Be sure to check out the "notes" section for teaching support.
Do you have any other interesting way to help young learners think
about/learn about history?
