The Stone Age Workshop

Guided by Sally, our enthusiastic archaeologist, through movement, improvisation, role play and poetry, the children are invited to travel back in time to explore this fascinating prehistoric period, discovering how it developed from the chaotic to the domestic.

During this workshop, the children will:

• Create pictures from ‘The Stone Age’ in order to get a sense of the start, middle and end of this period
• In pairs explore and vocalise how stone age people may have communicated with one another
• Use pictures for inspiration to create a Stone Age timeline
• Through a Stone Age ‘Dragon’s Den’, discuss what would have been a useful invention of the time
• Imagine life in a stone age settlement

“We enjoyed exploring the Stone Age led by the archaeologist (Sally Spade). The children also thoroughly enjoyed getting into character, dressing up and creating caves/dens. The interaction was managed really well and the children felt they were very much part of the lesson.”
