Y1 TOYS and GAMES

 

Welcome to the Y1 Toys and Games page!

 

In this History topic we learn about toys and games from the past.

We learn that, in the past, children would play lots of different games and make toys to keep themselves entertained.

Here are lots of fun, optional extra activities you can do at home.

Enjoy!  Mrs Howley xxx

Start a scrapbook.  Victorian children loved to save their favourite pictures and paste them into a scrapbook.  Sometimes they would cut out images from newspapers and magazines or greetings cards.  They would mix flour and water to make the glue.

 

Start a journal

Victorians liked to keep a journal.  They would write about things they had done, places they visited and people they met.  They would also sketch interesting things they saw and glue in souvenirs like tickets, pressed flowers, etc.
