Lessons From The Past

Worksheet Description

The “Antique Roadshow & Tell” worksheet invites preschool children to embark on a mini historical adventure. This engaging activity asks the youngsters to bring in an item that is older than they are, sparking interest in history and heritage. The worksheet provides a space for the child to write their name and the name of the object or picture they’ve brought, which promotes writing and identification skills. They are also asked to consider the age of the item, prompting them to think about the concept of time and how it relates to objects.

The sheet encourages children to describe what their object or picture can teach us about the past, nurturing early analytical skills and encouraging them to make connections between the item and historical knowledge. A section for ‘Qualification’ with smiley faces offers a fun way for kids to rate their experience, which adds an element of personal reflection. This exercise is not only educational, but it also offers a platform for children to practice expressive language and share personal stories, enriching their learning experience with a social component.
