Look for clues

Ask students how they could identify whether a toy is from the past or the present. What clues would they look for?

You could use the TES resource Toy museum to examine images of toys and identify clues that help us to recognise old toys and new toys. Construct a list of features that can be used as clues.

Students can click on the toys in 'Look for clues' to enlarge them. They look for clues to help them identify whether a toy is from the past or the present. Encourage discussion.
