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.
