Summary and Objective
Students will understand that toys and games from the past have changed over time by examing them and comparing and contrasting them to those of today. The students will understand this by recreating a modern day toy by comparing and contrasting it with that of a toy from the early to mid 20th century; then changing it as if it were made in the past.
Teaching Plan
Step 1.
Have a class discussion about toys and games of today. Make a list of these toys; noting materials, rules, etc.
Step 2.
Show the class the pictures of toys and games from the 20th century. Have a discussion, making a similar list as previously done.
Step 3.
Divide the students up into small groups of 3 or 4. Provide some of the photos previously used to each group.
Step 4.
Have students agree upon a photo of one of the toys or games and create a list about this toy. Students should take into consideration materials, rules, age, gender, etc.
Step 5.
The groups should then choose one of the toys from today from the list that was created previously in class. Create a similar list as previously done with the photo.
Step 6.
The groups should take the 2 lists and compare and contrast them.
Step 7.
After thoroughly examining both lists, they will take the modern day toy and recreate it using what they learned about the toys from the 20th century. They should take into consideration materials, rules, age, gender, etc.
Step 8.
The class will come back together and share what they learned and recreated.
