Schools

KS1 & KS2

Pupils can learn about the Victorian and Edwardian children who lived in the bungalow and the types of toys and games they may have played with, and compare them with their own.

Pupils can dress as a Victorian, play with toys and games, join in a singing game, listen to stories about the donkeys at Woodhall Spa, try out a parlour game, and finally colour a Snakes and Ladders board, or design a ‘Race Game’ or make a simple toy, such as a Peg Doll.

Pupils can explore our unique and welcoming Victorian family home decorated for a Victorian Christmas, and discover how Christmas was celebrated in late Victorian and early Edwardian times. Pupils will be met by costumed volunteers and can have fun dressing up themselves. They can use photographs to learn more about the children who lived here.

This two hour cross-curricular workshop will include the opportunity to play with traditional toys and games and compare toys and games past and present. Finally, pupils can make a Victorian style gift or decoration which they can take back to school.
