TOYS through TIME - 6 presentations and 6 worksheets

Aimed at 5 to 6 year olds, this unit covers the objectives for early learning of history. I have used it with Year 1.

The topics help students to

• group according to different criteria related to history
• understand what evidence is
• experience collecting evidence
• chronicle the development of toys on a simple time line while developing a concept of where they fit in the time line
• and record using a graph, drawings and labels and time lines.

Topics include:
Our Favourite Toys
Finding out about the Past
Toys from different Decades
All children played with Toys!
Years and Years of Toys
Time lines

Each topic starts with power point slides and is followed by a worksheet of 2 to 3 pages. Teachers may also choose to do some of the activities between slides.
