Early Education Student Icebreaker
In this activity, students create a jar of objects that represent childhood to them. It aims to engage with new students' prior knowledge of childhood and to substitute for the traditional first class icebreaker activity.
History of the World in 100 Objects
In 2010, the British Museum, in partnership with the BBC, created the "History of the World in 100 Objects" online exhibition. As part of the exhibition, the museum created an educational program that included lesson plans for teaching with objects and pictures from the collection.
A link to the program and individual plans is included below as inspiration, or for adaptation to your class room.
