Let's Go to the Museum
په Literacy
This practice can be used to acquire and use a variety of thematic vocabulary to use when talking about students' environment. It helps them to name, label and arrange objects into groups based on their different characteristics. Self-efficacy of students improve as them confidently take the visitor(s) around the museum.
The child finds little treasures related to their physical and natural environment.
The child arranges the treasures by theme or group, and displays them in jars or boxes (i.e. wild animals, domestic animals, artefacts, the ocean etc)
The child labels all of the treasures (draw and/or write the label). The child acts as a tour guide while the other players are the visitors.
The tour guide welcomes the visitors to the museum.
The tour guide shows the museum to visitors. The tour guide tells the visitors about the treasures, e.g. “Pots are mostly made of clay and are used for storage of water, flowers and cereals.”
The tour guide then becomes a visitor and vice versa.
