Children's History Workshop: History Through Objects (ages 6 to 9)
Kids examine artefacts to work out how children lived and played in the past, then make an artefact of their own.
Good to know
What to expect
Lorcan McEvoy, Dublin's Historian in Residence for Children, lays out artefacts and asks the question archaeologists ask: what does this object tell us about the child who owned it? Kids look closely at objects from different centuries, work out what games children played and how they lived, then make an artefact of their own. Pitched at 6 to 9 year olds, with an adult staying alongside.
