Classroom museum of curiosities

Children bring interesting objects and set up a museum in the room with descriptions and guides.

Steps

1. Conversation: what a museum is, who works there (curator, guide).
2. The day before, children bring an object with a story: an old coin, a souvenir from grandparents, a shell, a fossil.
3. Each child makes an ID card for the exhibit: name, where it comes from, how old it is.
4. You set up the exhibits on desks like in display cases.
5. Children guide guests from another class around their museum.

Tip: Agree with parents that valuable items are only viewed in the room and go back the same day.
